renkforce 2498316 12 Port Patch Panel CAT6

Product Information

The 12 Port Patch Panel CAT6, Item no. 2498316, is a device used for connecting and managing ethernet cables. It supports up to 12 ethernet connections and is suitable for CAT6 cables.

The patch panel has two wiring schemes, T568A and T568B, which are color-coded for easy identification of the wire pairs. The device has a minimum lifespan of 750 plug cycles and conforms to ANSI/TIA/EIA568 B.21 standards.

The patch panel should be connected using a suitable RJ45 connector and tools. It can be mounted on a wall or placed in a rack for ease of access and management.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Identify the wiring scheme to be used (T568A or T568B).
2. Prepare the ethernet cable to be connected by stripping off the outer jacket to expose the wire pairs.
3. Untwist the wire pairs and group them according to the wiring scheme identified in step 1.
4. Insert the wire pairs into the corresponding slots on the patch panel, following the wiring scheme identified in step 1.
5. Use a suitable tool to press down and secure the wires in place. Do not use excessive force.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for each ethernet cable to be connected.
7. The patch panel can be mounted on a wall or placed in a rack for ease of access and management.

• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions that remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.

Connection and installation

• Remove the cover. Rotate the two clamping knobs to the left or right, the cover can then be raised to the rear and removed.
• Carefully cut into the cable sheath of the network cable at approx. 50 mm. Do not damage the shielding and the inner conductor!
• Pull off the cable sheath.
• Pull the braided shielding backwards over the cable sheath and twist it. Remove the shielding of the wire pairs.
• Loosen the metal bracket for the strain relief in the patch panel for the corresponding port, where you want to connect the cable.
• For cabling use either the colour coding according to T568A or T568B (in Europe T568A is usually used). Do not mix the two colour codes on your network, or otherwise the network connections may not work. Guide the shielding of the cable pairs of the CAT6 cable up to the insulation displacement terminals.
• Connect the wires (starting from insulation displacement terminal 8) with a suitable LSA punch down tool. Pay attention to the correct colour coding.
• Secure the network cable with the strain relief, so that the shielding braid is located under the strain relief and contact is achieved.
  • Do not use force; do not pinch the cable too tightly.
• Finally, the network cable is to be fixed at the rear end of the patch panel with a cable tie. Do as described above for other network cables.
• When all the cables are connected, replace the cover. Secure the cover with the two clamping knobs.
• Install the patch panel in your 254 mm (10”) network cabinet. Suitable installation material is enclosed for this purpose. Alternatively, you can hang the patch panel on a wall, thanks to the openings on the underside. Use suitable screws and, if necessary, dowels depending on the existing surface.
• Attach the grounding cable of the patch panel to a grounding connection provided for this purpose.
• Label the cables and network ports on the patch panel in a suitable manner, so that you can inspect the connections and cable connections more easily in the event of faults.

Care and cleaning

• Never use aggressive detergents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the casing or cause the product to malfunction.
• Use a dry, lint‑free cloth to clean the product.
