48-Port Category 5e Screened Patch Panel, T568A/B Wiring, 3.50″ High SKU: 48458S-C5E

The Signamax Category 5e MT-Series Screened Patch Panels are designed to offer a complete panel and jack option. The MT-series includes the option of a 24, 48, or 72 port panel, black snap-in keystone jacks, and a cable management bar. This unique design allows easy termination and greater flexibility for future adds, moves or changes, giving installers the perfect cost effective solution for Category 5e applications.

The keystone jacks’ solid-metal shielding eliminates EMI, and in lieu of fixed termination, a standard single-position 110 termination tool or a specialized Signamax multi-pair tool can be used. For easy circuit identification, each port designation features a labeling area with a reference number. The keystone jacks are rated for a minimum of 750 plug insertions providing for the highest level of system reliability.
