Upgrade to 10G with NEW Cat6a Panels

Intellinet Cat6a 10G 24-Port and 48-Port Patch Panels

New Cat6a Options

More Flexibility for 10G Network Installations

Rack space, port count and cable organization all matter when planning structured cabling. These new Intellinet Cat6a Patch Panels give installers a choice of 24 or 48 ports in a standard 1U format, with 10 Gbps performance, 500 MHz bandwidth and PoE++ support for modern network installations.

Choose the Port Count That Fits Your Rack

Both models provide the same Cat6a performance and PoE++ compatibility. The main difference is how many connections you need in each rack unit.

Maximum Port Density

Cat6a 10G 48-Port Patch Panel, 1U

Model 720526

Intellinet Cat6a 10G 48-Port Patch Panel

Designed for higher-density installations, the 48-port model doubles the number of connections available in a single rack unit without taking up additional vertical rack space.

✓ 48 Ports in 1U — maximize connection density without using additional rack space
✓ 10 Gbps / 500 MHz Cat6a — support high-speed Cat6a network infrastructure
✓ PoE++ Support — compatible with IEEE 802.3bt applications for access points, cameras, VoIP devices and other powered network equipment
Standard-Density Builds

Cat6a 10G 24-Port Patch Panel, 1U

Model 720533

Intellinet Cat6a 10G 24-Port Patch Panel

The 24-port model provides a clean, straightforward way to terminate Cat6a cabling when a standard port count is all the installation requires.

✓ 24 Ports in 1U — organize 24 network connections in a standard rack unit
✓ 10 Gbps / 500 MHz Cat6a — support the same high-speed Cat6a network performance
✓ PoE++ Support — compatible with IEEE 802.3bt applications for access points, cameras, VoIP devices and other powered network equipment

Why Cat6a Matters in a 10G Installation

A high-speed switch is only one part of a 10G network. The cabling, connectors and patch panels also need to support the required performance. Using Cat6a-rated components throughout the installation helps maintain a consistent cabling system from the rack to connected equipment.

Both of these panels support Cat6a Class EA performance, frequencies up to 500 MHz and transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps, making them a practical termination point for new or upgraded 10G cabling.

1U

Get the Port Density Your Rack Needs

Both models use just 1U of rack space, so the choice is mainly about port count. A 24-port panel works well for more typical installations, while the 48-port model helps make better use of limited rack space when more cable runs need to be terminated.

24 Ports for Standard-Density Installations

The 24-port model keeps connections organized in a familiar 1U layout and is a good fit when the installation does not require maximum port density.

48 Ports When Rack Space Is Limited

The 48-port model fits twice as many connections into the same 1U height, making it especially useful in higher-density racks and network closets.

Planning tip: Consider both your current cable count and expected growth. Choosing the right port density now can make future adds and changes easier to manage.

⚙

Designed to Make Termination and Cable Management Easier

A patch panel should be easy to work with during installation and easy to maintain afterward. Both models include installer-friendly features that help keep terminations and cable routing organized.

180° IDC Terminals

Straight-entry punch-down terminals provide a clear layout for cable termination.

110 + Krone Compatible

Works with both common punch-down tool types for greater installer flexibility.

T568A + T568B

Color-coded terminals support both T568A and T568B wiring configurations.

Cable-Management Bar

A removable rear cable-management bar helps support and organize terminated cable runs.

⚡

PoE++ Support for Modern Network Devices

Both patch panels support PoE standards through IEEE 802.3bt, including PoE++, 4PPoE and Ultra PoE. That allows the cabling system to support both data and power for compatible network equipment.

Typical applications include wireless access points, surveillance cameras, VoIP devices and other network equipment that receives power over Ethernet.

Built for data and PoE: With 10 Gbps Cat6a performance and IEEE 802.3bt support, these panels can be used in structured cabling systems that serve both high-speed data connections and powered network devices.

Made for Standard 19-Inch Network Racks

Both panels use powder-coated, cold-rolled SPCC steel construction and fit standard 19-inch racks. They support 23 to 26 AWG solid wire and use 50 micro-inch gold-plated contacts.

Numbered and labeled RJ45 ports also make it easier to identify connections during installation, troubleshooting and later network changes.

Which Patch Panel Fits Your Installation?

Both models deliver the same Cat6a speed, frequency and PoE++ support. Choose based on the number of connections you need in each rack unit.

Choose the 24-Port Panel

A good fit for standard-density installations that need 10G Cat6a performance and PoE++ support without the added port density of a 48-port panel.

Choose the 48-Port Panel

A better choice for higher-density installations where rack space is limited and more connections need to fit into each 1U section.

Whether you need 24 or 48 connections, both panels provide the 10G Cat6a performance, PoE++ support and installer-friendly features needed for organized professional network installations.

Build Your Next Cat6a Installation

Choose the 24-port model for a standard rack layout or the 48-port model when you need more connections in the same 1U space.
