Vanco 820524 Cat5e Patch Panel 24 Port 1U

Product Description

The VANCO 820524 is a 24-port Cat5e patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in network distribution frames and equipment racks. Built in a 1U rack-mount form factor, it serves as the termination point between incoming horizontal cable runs and the active network equipment. Installers use it to organize, label, and manage patch connections in a centralized location. It is suited for voice, data, and low-voltage signal distribution in commercial and residential structured wiring applications where clean cable management and reliable interconnect performance are required.

This patch panel is used in 19-inch equipment racks and network enclosures supporting Cat5e cabling infrastructure. Typical installation scenarios include server rooms, telecommunications closets, and structured wiring panels in multi-room residential or light commercial builds. The 1U height keeps rack space usage minimal while providing 24 individual termination ports for horizontal cable home runs.

Key Features

• 24 ports in a single 1U rack-mount chassis for efficient space use
• Cat5e rated for voice and data cabling applications
• Designed for use in standard 19-inch equipment racks and network enclosures
• Centralized termination point for horizontal cable runs
• Supports organized patch cable management between distribution and active equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 19-inch rack-mount structured cabling systems supporting Cat5e horizontal cable infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a low-voltage cabling technician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Terminate horizontal cable runs at the rear punch-down blocks using a 110-style punch-down tool, following proper cable pair sequencing per the applicable wiring standard. Avoid untwisting wire pairs more than necessary at termination points to maintain signal integrity. Secure the panel to the rack using appropriate cage nuts and mounting screws before terminating cables.
