Ortronics PHA6AU48-W 48-port Cat6a Angled Patch Panel

Product Description

The ORTRONICS PHA6AU48-W is a 48-port angled patch panel designed for Category 6A structured cabling installations. It uses 110-style punch-down termination and provides a clean, organized connection point between horizontal cable runs and network switching equipment. The angled port orientation reduces cable bend radius stress at the panel face, which helps maintain signal integrity at Cat6A performance levels. Licensed network cabling technicians and low-voltage installers deploy this panel in telecommunications rooms and data centers where high-density copper patching is required.

This panel is suited for commercial and enterprise structured cabling systems operating at Cat6A performance specifications, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over copper. It is installed in standard 19-inch equipment racks or two-post relay racks and is finished in white to match light-colored rack environments or to support color-coded zone identification within a patching infrastructure. The 110-style termination method is compatible with standard 110 punch-down tools commonly used by structured cabling contractors.

Key Features

• 48 angled ports in a single panel for high-density Cat6A copper patching
• 110-style punch-down termination compatible with standard impact tools
• Angled port design reduces cable stress and maintains bend radius compliance
• White finish supports color-coded rack organization or light-environment aesthetics
• Cat6A rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper cabling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style panel for Cat6A structured cabling systems using 110-style termination in standard 19-inch rack enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 cabling standards. Power down or disconnect active switching equipment in the rack before routing and terminating cables at the panel. Use a calibrated 110-style punch-down tool to seat conductors fully and trim excess wire cleanly. Verify pair assignments match the selected wiring standard (T568A or T568B) consistently across the entire run before testing.
