CHAPTER 2: Introduction
The Black Cat CAT5 Patch Panels are designed to be
high-performance mainstays of wiring sites for Category 5:
rugged enough for everyday handling in demanding
locations and applications, yet simple and convenient
enough for anyone to work with. Some of their more
important features include:
•A lot of ports in not a lot of surface area. Get 16 or
24 ports on a Panel one rack unit (1U) high, 32 or
48 ports on a Panel 2U high, or 64 or 96 ports on a
Panel 4U high.
•A higher printed-circuit-board capacity than most
other patch panels, which makes the Black Cats
more reliable at Category 5 data rates.
•Sturdy rolled-edge anodized-aluminum construction.
•Type 110 connectors on the back of the Panel that
don’t protrude—so they don’t snag cables—and
that are specially arranged so that you can punch
cables in a pair-by-pair sequence, preserving pair
twist to within a half-inch (12.7 mm) of the
connectors, as required by EIA/TIA-568.
•Come with a rackmountable Cable Management
Bar, sets of cable ties and Type 110 connector caps,
a sheet of label-paper strips and two adhesive-
backed plastic sheaths.
