What's the difference between Cat6e and Cat6A patch panels? Cat6e supports up to 1Gbps and 250MHz, while Cat6A supports up to 10Gbps and 500MHz. Choose Cat6A for higher bandwidth applications or PoE+ systems.Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a shielded or unshielded patch panel? Use shielded patch panels in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI), like industrial or data center settings. For standard office use, unshielded is usually sufficient.
Can I use a patch panel for PoE and VoIP? Yes, most network patch panels Cat6e and Cat6A are PoE- and VoIP-compatible, depending on the cabling used.
Are these patch panels rack-mountable? Yes, all panels offered are 19-inch rack-compatible for easy integration into standard network cabinets.
