Panduit DPA246X88TGWH Punchdown Patch Panel Cat6a

Product Description

The PANDUIT DPA246X88TGWH is a punchdown-style patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This panel accepts individual conductor terminations using a standard punchdown tool, providing a clean and organized transition point between horizontal cable runs and active network equipment. Based on the part number designation, this panel supports 24 ports and is engineered to Category 6A performance standards, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades that work with this hardware.

This patch panel is intended for rack-mounted installations in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data closets. It is used in structured cabling systems that follow TIA-568 standards for horizontal cabling termination. The 24-port configuration fits within standard 19-inch equipment racks and is suited for both new installations and retrofit projects where high-density, high-performance copper cabling infrastructure is required.

Key Features

• Punchdown termination style for direct conductor seating without modular plug crimping
• 24-port configuration supports organized cable management in telecom and server rooms
• Category 6A performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE++ applications
• Rack-mount form factor fits standard 19-inch equipment enclosures
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structured cabling component for use in standard 19-inch equipment racks following TIA-568 horizontal cabling guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling contractors. Disconnect or power down any active equipment in the rack before seating or re-terminating conductors. A 110-style punchdown tool is typically required for conductor termination. Work should comply with applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local low-voltage codes.
