West Penn Wire 48PP6C-L Cat6 Utp 48 Port Patch Panel

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 48PP6C-L is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) 48-port patch panel designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network infrastructure. This panel provides a centralized termination point for horizontal cable runs, organizing and managing network connections at the distribution frame. Electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians use this panel to terminate, label, and patch Ethernet runs in telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data closets. It supports Cat6-rated performance, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network environments.

The 48PP6C-L is appropriate for use in commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit residential installations where a high port-count termination point is required in a single rack unit. It integrates into standard 19-inch equipment racks and patch panel enclosures as part of a complete structured cabling system. This panel is typically deployed in conjunction with Cat6 keystone jacks, patch cords, and cable management hardware to complete an end-to-end cabling solution.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Cat6 and Cat6A structured cabling systems using 19-inch rack-mount patch panel installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or qualified electrician in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize or disconnect active network equipment before terminating cables at the panel. Use a 110-style punch-down tool for terminating individual conductors at the rear of the panel, and follow proper cable bend radius and slack management practices to maintain Cat6 performance. Secure the panel to the rack before terminating cable runs to avoid stress on connections.
