Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N252-024-6A is a 24-port patch panel designed for structured cabling installations supporting Cat6a and Cat5 network infrastructure. It serves as a central termination and management point for horizontal cable runs in data closets and telecom rooms. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network installers use this panel to organize and cross-connect station cables to active switching equipment. The panel supports both Cat6a and Cat5 cabling, making it a versatile option for mixed-standard environments or phased network upgrades.

This patch panel is suited for 19-inch equipment rack or patch panel cabinet installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. It is commonly deployed in structured cabling projects requiring organized front-of-rack termination for copper Ethernet runs. Whether used in a new build or a retrofit, it supports clean cable management in wiring closets and server rooms.
