Part Number: PID-00154, PID-00155

PowerCat 5e Angled Patch Panels are ideal for installations of high density or which utilize extensive side and end-of-the-rack cable management.

The angled feature provides enhanced port access and minimizes patch cord bend radius to the rack. The IDC section consists of V-shaped contacts that flex not fatigue when terminated. Each RJ45 port features a patented spring-loaded shutter and can be color coded to match jack outlets with the use of optional port icons. Offering both front and rear labeling options, the patch panel is constructed of cold-rolled steel for additional strength and durability.
