Optical Cable Corp. ACC4888/1106AN 48-port Cat6a Utp Patch Panel

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. ACC4888/1106AN is a 48-port angled patch panel built for Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) structured cabling installations. Designed for high-density data center and enterprise network environments, this panel uses a no-stagger port layout, meaning all 48 ports sit in a uniform, non-offset row configuration for clean, consistent cable management. It is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling contractors working to TIA-568 standards. The angled port orientation helps manage patch cord routing and reduces stress on cable connectors in densely populated rack environments.

This patch panel is suited for horizontal cable termination in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data centers where Cat6A performance is required. The no-stagger design simplifies port identification and labeling. It is appropriate for both new structured cabling builds and upgrade projects where existing infrastructure is being brought up to 10GbE-capable Cat6A standards. Low-voltage installers and network infrastructure technicians are the primary trade audience for this product.

Key Features

• 48-port capacity supports high-density horizontal cabling in a single rack unit or multi-unit form factor
• Category 6A UTP performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth-intensive applications
• Angled port design aids patch cord routing and reduces connector wear in dense rack installations
• No-stagger port layout provides uniform port spacing for straightforward labeling and identification
• Sold as an individual unit (each) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling component compatible with standard EIA-310 equipment racks and enclosures accepting Cat6A UTP patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or structured cabling contractor in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. De-energize or power down active network equipment in the rack before seating or removing patch cords. Use appropriate punch-down or termination tools rated for Cat6A termination to maintain channel performance. Avoid exceeding minimum bend radius on patch cords routed from the angled ports.
