Optical Cable Corp. DCC4888/1106AN 48-port Cat6a Patch Panel

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. DCC4888/1106AN is a 48-port Category 6A unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch panel in a 2U rackmount form factor with a non-staggered port layout. Designed for structured cabling installations, this panel provides a central termination and cross-connect point for horizontal cabling runs in data centers, server rooms, and commercial network closets. The Cat6A rating supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 328 feet. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this panel as a core component of organized, high-performance copper cabling infrastructure.

The DCC4888/1106AN is suited for enterprise LAN environments, data centers, and commercial structured cabling deployments requiring 10GbE-capable copper connectivity. The non-staggered 48-port layout provides a uniform port arrangement across the 2U panel face, simplifying cable management and labeling in high-density rack installations. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• 48 ports in a 2U rackmount profile for high-density copper termination
• Category 6A UTP performance supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet over copper
• Non-staggered port layout simplifies patch cord routing and port labeling
• UTP design eliminates the need for grounding infrastructure required by shielded panels
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward procurement and installation planning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling component compatible with standard 19-inch EIA equipment racks and enclosures accepting 2U rackmount patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active network equipment connected to cabling runs before terminating conductors at the panel. Use a 110-type punch-down tool for proper conductor termination and follow the wiring scheme consistently across all ports. Verify rack unit spacing and cable management hardware clearance before mounting the panel in the enclosure.
