D-Link Cat6 UTP Loaded Patch Panel — 24 Port / 48 Port | 1U / 2U | Black | NPP-C61BLK241 / NPP-C61BLK481

The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 and NPP-C61BLK481 Cat6 UTP Patch Panels are built for network installers, IT administrators, and structured cabling professionals deploying organised Cat6 network infrastructure in server rooms, network cabinets, offices, educational institutions, hotels, and data centres. The 24-port 1U panel suits smaller networks and space-constrained cabinets; the 48-port 2U panel suits medium to large network deployments where higher port density is required within a compact rack footprint.

Both panels feature a six-port RJ45 module grouping design — accommodating termination and management in easy-to-identify clusters for simplified port tracing and documentation in large installations. RJ45 jack contacts are made from phosphor bronze with nickel plating and finished with 50 micro-inch gold plating on the plug contact area for superior corrosion resistance, reliable signal transmission, and long-term mating durability rated for a minimum of 750 mating cycles per jack. IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) terminals made from phosphor bronze with tin plating accommodate 22–26 AWG stranded and solid wire and are compatible with both 110 and Krone punch-down tools — eliminating the need for tool-specific termination accessories. T568A and T568B dual-wiring scheme support ensures compatibility with all standard Cat6 structured cabling deployments. ID stripes provide per-port labelling space for clear, permanent port identification and documentation. The 1.6mm thick SPCC cold-rolled steel panel with RAL 9005 black powder coating delivers a durable, professional-grade enclosure resistant to everyday handling. Transmission performance fully complies with the ANSI/TIA/EIA 568C.2 Cat6 standard — ensuring reliable Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet performance within supported distance parameters. Optional cable management bar support enables organised front cable routing.
