Tripp Lite N252-P24 Cat6 Poe Patch Panel 24-port

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N252-P24 is a 24-port Cat6 patch panel designed to support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications in structured cabling installations. It provides a centralized termination point for Cat6 horizontal runs, enabling clean cable management and organized patching in network racks or enclosures. The panel is suited for Cat6 network infrastructure where PoE-powered devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones are in use. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this panel in both new construction and retrofit environments.

The N252-P24 is applicable in commercial and residential structured cabling systems where Cat6 performance is required. It fits standard 19-inch EIA rack enclosures and patch panel bays, making it compatible with typical telecom room and IDF closet deployments. The 24-port configuration suits medium-density installations where a single rack unit of termination capacity is needed per cable run grouping.

Key Features

• 24-port Cat6 patch panel with PoE support for powered device infrastructure
• Designed for use in standard 19-inch EIA rack or wall-mount enclosures
• Supports Cat6 structured cabling terminations for organized cable management
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit panel for Cat6 and Cat6A patch panel applications in 19-inch rack enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down or de-energize PoE-capable switches before making or breaking connections at the panel to avoid unexpected voltage on the cable run. A punch-down tool is required for terminating horizontal cable runs to the panel jacks. Verify cable bend radius and slack management meet local building and cabling code requirements before securing the panel in the rack.
