Ortronics SP5EU48 Cat5e 110 Patch Panel 48 Port

Product Description

The ORTRONICS SP5EU48 is a 48-port Cat5e 110-style patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. It provides a high-density termination point for horizontal copper cabling runs, organizing and cross-connecting network circuits at the distribution frame. The 110-style termination format is a standard in voice and data infrastructure, supporting reliable, punch-down connections across all 48 ports. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades working with this panel.

This panel is suited for use in telecom rooms, main distribution frames, and intermediate distribution frames in commercial office buildings, campus networks, and data centers requiring organized Cat5e copper termination. It supports 6-pair 110 connector blocks and is appropriate for both voice and data circuit management at the patch field. Installations typically involve rack or wall-mount backboards in structured cabling systems following ANSI/TIA-568 standards.

Key Features

• 48-port Cat5e rated termination capacity in a single panel
• 110-style punch-down termination for voice and data circuits
• 6-pair 110 connector block configuration
• High-density layout suited for telecom rooms and distribution frames
• Supports ANSI/TIA-568 Cat5e structured cabling installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling component compatible with standard 110-style patch panel backboards and rack systems used in Cat5e horizontal copper cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician or structured cabling installer familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Power down or disconnect any active circuits before terminating or re-terminating conductors at the punch-down field. A 110-style punch-down tool is required for proper termination; avoid over-driving conductors to prevent pair damage. Follow local codes and manufacturer documentation for rack mounting, cable management, and bend radius requirements.
