Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use both stranded and solid cable with this?

Hi Ben! br>br>Thank you for taking the time to learn more about TRENDnet. Please keep in mind that solid is the best option. br>I hope this information is useful!

Is it possible to connect Cat 6 cables to a Cat 5 model?

RJ-45 connectors are used on all LAN cables, from cat3 to cat10. There are 45 connectors total. This means you can physically plug any cable into the panel, but the slowest component will limit your speed.

Is it possible to remove the patch units from the rack mount frame?

Probably. I believe it is a six-block puzzle, but why bother? Individual keystones can be purchased if you need smaller units. That's how you'll be able to incorporate them into your project.

Is there a wall mount included in the package? It's mentioned, but the photos don't show it?

The wall mount that came with mine was missing. I needed to find a way to mount the television on the wall. I'm not sure where I got it, but it was probably 3 1/2 years ago on Amazon.

It really works
5/5

I bought this patch panel as part of a package deal to improve connectivity on my house's far side. I ran a Cat6 cable from my main router/switch to my entertainment room and used this patch panel to accommodate that cable run as well as all of the other runs I needed for my Ring POE security cameras. I paired this patch panel with a NetGear POE switch for camera connections, a hardwired computer for multi-media projection, and a second WiFi router for increased bandwidth for all of my wireless devices. I'm ecstatic because I'm getting a steady 250-percent increase in my earnings. On my wired devices, I get 300 MBPS. All of the connections were simple with this patch panel, and I didn't have to strain my eyes crimping RJ45 connectors at the end of my runs.

I use this panel when network hardware manufacturers break the holy rule of "Ports and LEDs in the front, power in the back!"

45 connectors, so I can rackmount this panel above the offending piece of equipment and plug the male ends into the equipment's jacks on the back, giving me access to the ports from the front of the rack. br>br>Be aware that the punchdown order and pair locations differ from those used by other manufacturers. The color-scheme If you're not paying attention, the coding labels near the punch positions are just a hair smaller than the actual wire locations, making it easy to mix them up. br>br>Apart from that, it's a good panel. It won't withstand a lot of pulling and repunching copper cycles, so do it right the first time.

port to accommodate a 19" bracket This is only going to be a quick rundown. I was in charge of setting up a new office network. With this patch panel, you can create five hardwired rooms. It connects a computer to the internet at gigabit speeds.

I went ahead and bought it again without hesitation
5/5

A lightning strike to the house caused the original panel to fail, resulting in the loss of one port on the panel, a router, a Sony Bravia TV, and several other electrical items in the house. It was NOT THE FAILURE OF THE PANEL, which is why I immediately ordered a replacement.

Patch panel with a dependable back that is clearly marked
4/5

I've previously placed an online order for patch panels and been extremely dissatisfied. I got one from China that didn't even have a label on the back indicating which color wire goes where. What exactly are you going to do with that? Is it possible to learn from your mistakes? br>br>However, this patch panel is of good quality, well-labeled, and simple to use. The package includes wire guides and zip ties. The price is reasonable, and I have yet to encounter a problem with one. I continue to order them and will do so in the future.

Cable management is made easier with this tool
4/5

This is a very good product. I wish they had included a plastic sheath for use as a wall mount. If you simply screw to the wall, it looks awful. It did, however, enable me to clean up a rat's nest of wires from a PoE security system. The wires were secured using a third-party tool.

This is a fantastic, out-of-the-box application
5/5

Installed the mini patch panel in the face of a custom 1U SBC enclosure after removing it from the metal housing.

Meets all of the specifications for a fully functional 16 port RJ45 panel
5/5

There were 16 ports on the ship. Because of a blunder on my part, some ports did not work. When I fixed the error, the ports began to function properly. When I properly ran the wires, data transfers. When properly installed and wires are properly set, it works perfectly. When installed incorrectly, you won't be able to perform miracles. The item is in good condition.
