Pardon my ignorance but what is this used for generally? Might I use it if I wanted to install Ethernet in several rooms of my house?

BEST ANSWER: Yes, that is correct. Your homerun cables from each room would terminate at this patch panel. You would also need some sort of rack mount to put this in. That could either be a wall mount bracket to only hold this patch panel or it could be a larger box-frame rack - Which can either be wall or floor mounted. If you don't have more than twelve(12) cables keep in mind that the 12-port patch panel is a much smaller form factor and mounts directly to the wall itself - Not in a rack. You'll want to think about and plan for all the equipment you'll have at the headend and what kind of space you'll need: Patch panel, switch, router, UPS, etc.

Yes, this would be for providing a termination point for Ethernet (or really, any RJ45 connections) across a building. While the most frequent usage would be for Ethernet, it's 4 dry pairs at that point, so you really could run any of a number of different services across those wires (telephone, video, serial). What makes it Ethernet is whether you're patching a port into an Ethernet switch.

This panel is used to bring up to 48 cat five cables throughout a business or house together into one uniform place. Makes for easy connection from your switch or router to the devices on the network with patch cables.

I see the 48 port version is made up of 8, 8 port modules. Is it possible to remove a module and replace it with a keystone plate? I'm trying to avoid dedicating another U to keystone for coax connectors.

It appears that for each block, you have to double up the wiring: 1,2 share the 1st section, 3,4 share the 2nd section, 5,6 share the 3rd section, etc.... Is it not easier to have individual keystone jacks and plug them into a panel individually? Please advise....

BEST ANSWER: The blocks on the back of the unit are laid out in a way where two pair go to the top and two pair go to the bottom block for each port on the front. Once you get used to the sequence the process of punching down wires goes very quickly. It's far faster than terminating individual keystones and snapping them into a blank panel. Of course using a blank panel is an option if you plan to mix and match port types in one 2U panel (i.e. RJ45, RJ11, Coax, etc), but if you have the space to dedicate to this panel it's quicker, and less costly, to choose this IMO.

So my observation is correct, 2 lines will share one block. (I'm used to individual jacks and snapping them into a panel). So procedure is to punch down cable 1 then on top of it punch down cable 2?

ok, skip that last reply, each line has its own punch down block with cap. It appeared to not be enough sections, but seems pretty straight forward and probably a lot faster then individual jacks route.

Not exactly, if I'm understanding your comment correctly.
For port 1, two pair are connected to the top block, and two pair are connected to the bottom block, for port 2, the same is true, and so on. It's a little different layout than I've seen on other brands of patch panels, but once you get used to it there is very little difference. You are never punching down one cable "on top of" another. All cables are punched down "beside" each other.

Each has it's own set of punch down points. The odd numbers are at the top of the row and the even numbers are at the bottom. Please refer to the picture of the back of the unit. You will find 4 total rows of punch downs, that is 2 per front facing row of jacks. The punch downs are easy to understand with a single color upon the larger center spike between the color/colr/wht position and the docs tell you exactly how to punch down for both A and B.

Will this work with CAT6A from monoprice too?
Ian M
on Nov 23, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Speed wise it should support the 10g speed. just make sure its not shielded wire and that it is 20ga wire. Remember that these wires are a lot thicker than the cat5e so make sure you put supporting cable management columns and cable managing trays. If you are running just one block you might be fine. but if you are running multiples watch out for extra equip and extra labor, imo.

Will this Punch panel fit in onQ panel in newer home ?

on Dec 8, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question.
This has not been tested with an onQ panel but if it is able to hold standard 2u patch panels this would connect to it without a problem.

The photo shows color on the connectors and a sticker - and they seem to show different wiring diagrams. The paint on the connectors (which seems poorly applied) would require splitting pairs to the point maintaining Cat6 maximum strip of 0.51" will be difficult. Which is correct, the paint or the sticker? (https://images.monoprice.com/productlargeimages/73053.jpg)

BEST ANSWER: Since the pairs are terminated right next to one another, you can keep the twist until just before the termination. Where the 0.51" really matters is in termination in RJ45 cables, which by necessity have to be lined up without the twist to insert them into the plug. As long as you keep the wires twisted until just before termination, you should be fine in terminating them in these blocks without violating the standard.

There seem to be two different color codes in the pictures above, one painted on the connectors and one on the sticker. The paint (which seems poorly applied) seems to indicate the pairs need to be split, which will make wiring in accordance with Cat6 standards - maximum 0.51" untwisted - very difficult. The close-up of the color code on the 24-port switch does not work - it opens as an angled view of the front - but the full image appears to have the same code as the 48-port, assuming of course that the photos are even correct. Which color code do these actually use?

48 port cat 6 patch panel
The early patch panels I had issues with. There were many ports that tested bad intermittently which I found had to do with the angle that the patch cord was plugged into the panel. But for the last few years, I've had no issues
