Signamax Inc. 48458S-C6C Cat6 Shielded Patch Panel

Product Description

The SIGNAMAX INC. 48458S-C6C is a 48-port Category 6 plus shielded patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. This panel provides a centralized termination point for horizontal cable runs, supporting high-speed data transmission with full shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. It is rated for Category 6 plus performance, making it suitable for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this panel in standard equipment racks or cabinets as part of a complete structured cabling system.

This patch panel is used in commercial office buildings, data centers, schools, and other facilities requiring organized, high-density copper network infrastructure. With 48 ports in a single panel, it supports efficient cable management in rack-mounted environments. It is appropriate for new installations and upgrades to existing Category 6 cabling plants where shielded performance is required by the design specification or building environment.

Key Features

• 48-port configuration supports high-density horizontal cable terminations in a single rack unit
• Category 6 plus shielded design reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Shielded construction appropriate for environments with high EMI exposure such as industrial or hospital settings
• Rack-mountable form factor fits standard 19-inch equipment racks and cabinets
• Designed for structured cabling systems supporting Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit solution for Category 6 plus shielded structured cabling systems requiring rack-mounted 48-port patch panel termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or qualified network technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down any active equipment in the rack before mounting and terminating cables. Use proper punch-down tools rated for Category 6 terminations to avoid degrading channel performance. Maintain bend radius and pair untwist limits specified by the cabling standard at all termination points.
