Belden Inc. AX106902 Shielded Patch Panel 24-port

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. AX106902 is a 24-port shielded patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial network environments. Built on the KeyConnect modular platform, it accepts KeyConnect-series keystone inserts, allowing technicians to configure port count and cable category to match the specific demands of the installation. The shielded construction supports installations where electromagnetic interference is a concern, making it a practical choice in data centers, industrial facilities, and dense electrical environments where unshielded panels may introduce noise into the cabling plant.

This patch panel is appropriate for rack-mounted structured cabling deployments in both new construction and retrofit scenarios. It is typically installed in standard 19-inch equipment racks or cabinets as part of a horizontal cable management system. Low-voltage cabling contractors and network infrastructure technicians are the primary installers. The modular KeyConnect design means keystones can be populated in the field, reducing the need to stock multiple pre-terminated panel configurations.

Compatibility

Designed for use with BELDEN INC. KeyConnect-series keystone modules. Specific compatible keystone part numbers and cable categories were not provided in the product data; consult the manufacturer documentation to confirm compatible insert types before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with applicable codes including ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any active equipment in the rack before mounting and terminate all shielded cabling with proper grounding continuity to maintain shield effectiveness. Avoid sharp bends in patch cables and maintain minimum bend radius on horizontal cables routed to the panel.
