FAQs

What are the key features of the Tripp Lite N254-024-OF patch panel?

The Tripp Lite N254-024-OF is a 24-port Cat5e/6 feed-through patch panel with several key features: offset RJ45 coupler jacks to prevent crosstalk and interference, 1U rack-mount design for 19-inch racks, no 110 punchdown termination required, detachable cable management bar, and compatibility with USOC, T568A and T568B wiring standards. It's TAA compliant and comes with a lifetime warranty.

How many ports does this patch panel have and what types of connections are supported?

This patch panel features 24 RJ45 ports that support both Cat5e and Cat6 connections. The ports are staggered in an offset design to minimize crosstalk between adjacent ports. Each port can handle standard network cabling using USOC, T568A, or T568B wiring configurations, making it versatile for various network setups.

What are the mounting specifications for this patch panel?

The N254-024-OF is designed to mount in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure and occupies 1U of rack space. Its low-profile form factor makes it ideal for efficient space utilization in network closets and data centers. The panel includes mounting hardware and can be easily installed in any EIA-standard 19-inch rack.

What comes included in the package?

The package includes the N254-024-OF patch panel, 24 N235-001-6A snap-in RJ45 couplers, a detachable cable management bar for organizing cables at the rear of the panel, and a Quick Start Guide for installation and setup instructions.

How does the offset port design benefit network performance?

The offset (staggered) port design is a key feature that helps prevent crosstalk and interference between adjacent ports. By physically separating the RJ45 jacks in offset rows, the panel reduces electromagnetic interference and line noise that can slow down network performance, resulting in more reliable and faster network connections.
