This 1U shielded Cat6a feed-through patch panel delivers high-performance, reliable connectivity in enterprise and data-center environments. Built with a robust full-metal housing and integrated EMI-shielding, it protects against crosstalk and external interference for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Each port is a keystone-style feed-through opening, accommodating standard Cat6a keystone jacks for flexible configuration and easy field termination. Designed for a 19″ equipment rack, its low-profile form factor maximizes cabinet density while maintaining simple cable management with front-to-back routing. Ideal for mission-critical networks where signal integrity and secure, organized cabling are paramount.
