Panduit DPKA485E88TG Punchdown Patch Panel Kit

Product Description

The PANDUIT DPKA485E88TG is a punchdown patch panel kit designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Punchdown patch panels serve as the central termination point for horizontal cabling runs, organizing and managing network connections within telecommunications rooms and data closets. This kit provides the hardware needed to terminate and patch copper cabling, keeping network infrastructure organized and accessible. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals are the primary installers of this type of equipment.

This patch panel kit is suited for structured cabling deployments in commercial office buildings, data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. It supports the termination of horizontal runs from wall outlets and workstation drops back to the central distribution point. The kit format bundles the panel and associated mounting hardware, reducing the need to source components separately.
