METZ CONNECT 1502697424-E patch panel 24 portas 1U blindado Cat.6A, IDC sem ferramentas, cinzento claro

For high-density network installations where reliability and performance are non-negotiable, the METZ CONNECT 1502697424-E patch panel stands apart with its tool-less termination and robust shielded design. Unlike conventional panels that require punch-down tools and careful wire management, this 24-port Cat.6A panel accepts C6Amodul-E modules with simple push-in IDC terminations, cutting installation time significantly while maintaining consistent, repeatable connections. The galvanized steel housing and integrated grounding stud ensure long-term durability and EMC protection, making it an ideal choice for data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial environments.

Highlights

• 24 shielded RJ45 ports in a compact 1U 19-inch rack-mount form factor
• Supports Cat.6A / Class EA performance up to 500 MHz, compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173-1, and TIA/EIA-568-C.2
• Tool-less IDC termination for C6Amodul-E modules – no punch-down tool required
• Robust galvanized sheet steel housing with light grey (RAL 7035) front panel
• Central M6 grounding stud for reliable earthing and shielding continuity
• Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and high mating cycles (>750 insertions)
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++ / IEEE 802.3af/at/bt) for powering devices directly through the panel
• Wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +70 °C for demanding environments
• Accepts solid (AWG 24/1 to 22/1) and stranded (AWG 26/7 to 22/7) conductors

In daily use

Installers will appreciate the straightforward rear access and 180° cable entry, which simplifies cable routing in crowded racks. The tool-less IDC blocks grip conductors securely, reducing the risk of intermittent faults caused by vibration or thermal cycling. The shielded design, combined with the central grounding point, ensures excellent alien crosstalk suppression, critical for 10GBASE-T applications. The light grey front panel blends seamlessly with standard rack equipment, and the clear port numbering aids quick identification during moves, adds, and changes.
