48-Port Category 6A MD-Series Patch Panel, 3.50″ H SKU: 48458MD-C6AC

The Signamax Category 6A MD-Series Unscreened Patch Panels were designed to eliminate cross talk. The sixfold 110-type connector blocks are oriented to increase spacing allowing significant improvement in connector-to-connector interference isolation. A modular PCB design provides an effective electrical transition between socket contacts and 110-type IDC’s. For easy circuit identification, each port designation features a labeling area with a hinged window cover and a reference number.

The MD-series panels are available in 24- and 48-port versions featuring a rolled-edge steel construction eliminating panel flex during fixed termination. The contact design provides enhanced plug-to-jack connection integrity and protects against damage caused by insertion of 4 or 6 position plugs. Termination can be done using a standard single-position 110 termination tool, and the ports are all rated for a minimum of 750 plug insertions providing for the highest level of system reliability.
