Lionbeam lb-pp5e48 Cat 5E 48 Port 2U Patch Panel

Product Description

The LIONBEAM lb-pp5e48 is a 48-port Cat 5e patch panel built for structured cabling installations in a 2U rack form factor. It provides 48 RJ45 ports on the front face with a clean labeling strip for port identification, and IDC punch-down terminals on the rear for fast, reliable terminations without soldering or connectorized pigtails. The steel frame supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers in commercial and enterprise environments.

The lb-pp5e48 is designed for data centers, network closets, and telecommunications rooms where high port density and organized cable routing are required. The 2U rack height keeps vertical space efficient while accommodating a full 48-port home run layout. IDC rear terminals are compatible with standard Cat 5e solid-conductor horizontal cable, making it a straightforward fit for T568A or T568B wiring schemes commonly used in structured cabling projects. The front labeling fields support numbered port identification for clean documentation and faster troubleshooting.

Key Features

• 48 RJ45 ports in a 2U rack-mount form factor for high port density
• IDC punch-down terminals on the rear for tool-assisted termination of solid-conductor Cat 5e cable
• 100 MHz bandwidth support for Fast Ethernet and PoE applications
• Durable black steel frame construction for rack or cabinet installation
• Front labeling strip included for port numbering and documentation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch panel for standard 19-inch EIA rack systems supporting Cat 5e structured cabling deployments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians. De-energize any active PoE switches before connecting or disconnecting patch cables to avoid port damage. A 110-style punch-down tool is required for rear IDC termination of horizontal cable runs. Structured cabling installations should conform to ANSI/TIA-568 standards for Cat 5e channel performance.
