Five electrical figures printed, and a 10-inch width rather than 19

DIGITUS 10-inch 1U twelve-port Cat 6A shielded panel, 500 MHz, PoE+ rated

The only 10-inch panel in this hub, and the only listing anywhere on this shelf that publishes mating cycles, pull load, dielectric strength, insulation resistance and contact resistance.

DIGITUS 10-inch twelve-port shielded Cat 6A patch panel in a black metal housing

DIGITUS 10-inch 1U twelve-port Cat 6A shielded panel, 500 MHz, PoE+ rated

The only 10-inch panel in this hub, and the only listing anywhere on this shelf that publishes mating cycles, pull load, dielectric strength, insulation resistance and contact resistance.

Port count
Twelve — stated in the title and in the second bullet, which describes the housing and the IDC strips of a 12-port panel
Rack units
1U — stated in the title. The first bullet gives the width as the 10-inch standard for rack mounting in a matching network cabinet, which is the narrower of the two rack conventions and the only one of its kind on this shelf
Termination method
Insulation-displacement strips — named in the second bullet for mounting fixed installation cable, and detailed in the fourth, which says patching follows EIA/TIA 568 A and B with the strips colour-coded accordingly and accepts network cable of AWG 22 to 26 in both solid and stranded conductors
Category rating
Cat 6A, Class EA — stated in the title and in the first bullet. The third gives 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T, names PoE+ to IEEE 802.3at, and adds backward compatibility with Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable and with PoE to IEEE 802.3af
Shielded or unshielded
Shielded — stated in the title, and the second bullet describes a closed metal housing with a central earthing point providing the screening of both the ports and the IDC strips
Rear management bar
Not published on the listing — no cable management bar is named at the rear. The second bullet describes the housing and the strips and stops there
Labelling provision
Not published on the listing — no labelling strip or marker field is named. The colour coding described in the fourth bullet is on the IDC strips and states a wiring order, which is a different thing from labelling a port
Fixings supplied
Not published on the listing — no screws, no cage nuts and no earthing lead are listed. The earthing point is named in the second bullet without saying what connects to it

  • Publishes five electrical figures, which no other panel on this shelf attempts
  • Names PoE+ by its standard number rather than saying the panel supports power
  • A 10-inch panel does not fit a 19-inch cabinet, and the title is the only place that says so

Best for: A small 10-inch wall cabinet in a flat or a home office, where twelve ports is the whole installation and the panel has to be screened end to end.

On the listing

A Class EA Cat 6A patch panel to the 10-inch standard, one rack unit high, with twelve shielded ports and a closed metal housing with a central earthing point screening both the ports and the IDC strips; a rating for 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T with PoE+ to IEEE 802.3at, backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable and with PoE to IEEE 802.3af; patching to EIA/TIA 568 A and B on colour-coded IDC strips, for network cable of AWG 22 to 26 in solid or stranded conductors; and a fifth bullet giving more than 750 mating cycles, an RJ45 pull load of 7.7 kg, a dielectric strength of 1000 VDC contact to contact and 1500 VDC contact to earth, an insulation resistance above 500 MΩ and a contact resistance below 20 mΩ.

Ten inches, not nineteen

The width is in the title and it is the single most consequential fact on this page.

Ten-inch and 19-inch are different rack standards. The mounting rails sit at different spacings, and a panel cut for one does not reach the rails of the other. There is no adapter in the box and no note in the bullets.

Three of the four other panels on this shelf are 19-inch. One is not a rack panel at all. This one is 10-inch, which pairs it with the small wall cabinets that suit a flat or a home office rather than with a full-height rack.

Five electrical figures, printed where nobody else prints any

The fifth bullet does something unusual for a consumer listing: it publishes the socket as a measured object.

More than 750 mating cycles. An RJ45 pull load of 7.7 kg. Dielectric strength of 1000 VDC contact to contact and 1500 VDC contact to earth. Insulation resistance above 500 MΩ. Contact resistance below 20 mΩ.

Read them in the order a buyer would use them. Mating cycles say how many times a port can be re-patched before it is worn. Pull load says what happens when someone walks into a lead. The two resistance figures and the dielectric strength are the electrical case for a screened panel carrying power over ethernet.

None of the other four panels on this shelf publishes a single one of those numbers, and one of them does not even publish how it is terminated.

The earthing point with nothing named to reach it

The second bullet describes a central earthing point, and it is the correct feature: a screen that is not bonded to earth is a screen doing very little.

What no bullet says is what connects to it. No earthing lead is listed. No screws, no cage nuts, nothing. One panel on this shelf ships an earthing cable and says so; this one names the point and leaves the lead to the buyer.

Before ordering

Confirm the cabinet is a 10-inch one, because that is the fact that decides whether this panel is usable at all. Add cage nuts, screws and an earthing lead to the order, since none are listed. And note that twelve ports arrive with nothing to write on — a strip of labels bought at the same time saves an afternoon later.

    Twenty-four — stated in the title and in the third bullet, which describes twenty-four shielded RJ45 sockets
    Rack units
    1U — stated in the second bullet, together with suitability for 19-inch cabinet installation. The fifth repeats the single rack unit alongside the housing description
    Termination method
    Not published on the listing — no bullet says whether the rear is punched down, terminated by module or connected any other way. The third names the sockets and the two standards they meet; the second names the rack fit; nothing anywhere describes the back of the panel
    Category rating
    Cat 6A, Class EA — stated in the title and in the first bullet, with 500 MHz and 10G given alongside. It is the highest rating on this shelf, shared with two other panels
    Shielded or unshielded

  • BIGtec small metal four-port Cat 6a patch panel with shielded RJ45 sockets

    BIGtec four-port Cat 6a mini panel, IDC strips for 22–26 AWG, wall, desk or DIN rail

    The panel for a cupboard that has no rack in it: four shielded Cat 6a ports in a small metal box that screws to a wall, a desk edge or a length of trunking, with a DIN rail adapter as a fourth option.

    Port count
    Four — stated in the title and in the second bullet, which describes four shielded RJ45 sockets. It is the smallest panel on this shelf by a factor of three
    Rack units
    Not published on the listing, and there is nothing to publish: this is not a rack panel. The fourth bullet names wall, desk, cable trunking and DIN rail mounting instead, the last of them needing an adapter, and says screw holes are provided
    Termination method
    Insulation-displacement strips — the third bullet names four IDC strips for round installation cable of 22 to 26 AWG. The panel is terminated from the back with a punch-down tool, not populated with modules
    Category rating
    Cat 6a — stated in the title and in the first bullet, with the second citing ISO/IEC 11801 for the sockets and listing compatibility with Cat 5, Cat 6, Cat 6a, Cat 7 and Cat 8 cable. No frequency figure appears anywhere
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the second bullet, which describes the four sockets as screened, with the first naming a metal housing. No earthing point is named
    Rear management bar
    Not published on the listing — no cable management bar is named. On a box this size the cable arrives directly at the IDC strips, and the fourth bullet describes screw holes rather than any strain relief arrangement
    Labelling provision
    Not published on the listing — no labelling strip, no window and no marker field is named. Four ports is few enough to remember and there is nothing on the page to write on
    Fixings supplied
    Supplied — the fifth bullet lists the delivery as the four-port mini panel, an instruction sheet and fixing material. The DIN rail adapter named in the fourth bullet is not in that list

    The full-width panel on this shelf, twenty-four screened Cat 6 ports terminated by punch-down, sold with its earthing cable named and its outer dimensions written out to the millimetre.

    Port count
    Twenty-four — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets, described as twenty-four screened LAN ports
    Rack units
    1U — stated in the second bullet. The fourth names 19-inch rack installation and gives the width as 48.3 cm, and the fifth gives the full outer dimensions as 483 mm wide, 44 mm high and 110 mm long
    Termination method
    LSA+ insulation-displacement — named in the second bullet as the connection technique and detailed in the third as an 8-pole IDC contact at the rear for rigid installation cable up to Cat 7, accepting solid conductors of AWG 22 to 26. Stranded conductors are not named
    Category rating
    Cat 6 — stated in the title and in the first and second bullets, with a transmission rate given as 1 Gbit and 250 MHz. The first adds compatibility with Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a and Cat 7 cable standards. It is the lowest category on this shelf
    Shielded or unshielded
    Shielded — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which describes twenty-four screened ports. The fourth names a metal housing and an earthing cable providing a secure connection, the only earthing lead named on this shelf
    Rear management bar
    Not published on the listing — no cable management bar is named at the rear. The third bullet describes the IDC contacts and the conductor range and stops there
    Labelling provision
    Not published on the listing — no labelling strip and no marker field is named. The colour markings for TIA568A and TIA568B described in the first bullet state a wiring order rather than identifying a port
    Fixings supplied
    Not published on the listing — no screws and no cage nuts are listed. The earthing cable named in the fourth bullet is the only accessory the page mentions, and it is described as a feature rather than as a contents line

    INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS 19-inch 1U rail-mounted unit, two fans, 95–115 CFM, 44–49 dB/A, IEC 297-3

    The most measured product on this shelf: airflow, fan speed and noise level all printed as ranges, with a standard cited by number and a frame thickness in millimetres.

    Fan count
    Two — stated in the title, which describes a cooling unit with two fans for 19-inch cabinets, mounted on the profile rails
    Fan size
    Not published on the listing — no diameter and no frame dimension appears. The fourth bullet gives a fan speed of 2700 to 3100 rpm instead, which describes how fast they turn and not how big they are
    Stated airflow
    95 to 115 CFM — stated in the third bullet as the air throughput. It is one of only two airflow figures on this shelf, and the range is given rather than a single number
    Airflow unit
    Cubic feet per minute — the third bullet quotes CFM. The other airflow figure on this shelf is in cubic metres, per minute and per hour, so the two cannot be compared without converting one of them
    Stated noise level
    44 to 49 dB/A — stated in the fifth bullet. The measuring distance is not published on the listing, which is the figure a decibel number needs to be comparable
    Roof or rack-mount format
    Rack-mounted — stated in the title as a unit for mounting on the profile rails of a 19-inch cabinet, at one rack unit
    Rack units occupied
    One — stated in the title
    Airflow direction
    Not published on the listing — nothing says which way the fans push, and nothing says whether they can be turned in their frame. None of the seven listings on this shelf publishes a direction
    Thermostat or speed control
    Not published on the listing — no thermostat, no speed switch and no temperature sensor is named in any of the seven bullets. Four of the seven units on this shelf have one and this is one of the three that do not
    Power connection
    220 to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz — stated in the sixth bullet as the operating voltage. No lead, inlet or plug type is published

    • Airflow, fan speed and noise all published as ranges, which no other unit here manages
    • Cites IEC 297-3 by number rather than claiming rack compatibility in general terms
    • No thermostat and no speed control, so the fans run whenever they are powered

    Best for: A cabinet needing continuous ventilation with a known air throughput, in a room where 44 to 49 decibels is acceptable all day.

    kenable 19-inch 1U fan tray, two fans, digital thermostat with LCD, 180 mm mounting depth

    The only cooling unit on this shelf with a display on the front, showing the cabinet temperature and the fan setting, and the only one that names the length of the mains lead in the box.

    Fan count
    Two — stated in the fourth bullet, which describes two powerful fans providing air circulation in a 19-inch rack
    Fan size
    Not published on the listing — no diameter and no frame dimension appears. The fourth bullet calls the fans powerful and gives no measurement
    Stated airflow
    Not published on the listing — no figure appears in any bullet. The fourth describes optimal air circulation and effective cooling of IT and network equipment without quantifying either
    Airflow unit
    Not published on the listing, because no airflow figure is given. Two listings on this shelf publish one and they use different units from each other
    Stated noise level
    Not published on the listing — no decibel figure and no measuring distance appears. The fans are described as powerful rather than as quiet
    Roof or rack-mount format
    Rack-mounted — stated in the title as a 48.3 cm 19-inch 1U unit, and in the third bullet as a standard rack mounting with the fixing ears supplied, for data and communication cabinets
    Rack units occupied
    One — stated in the title and in the third bullet, which also gives a mounting depth of 180 mm
    Airflow direction
    Not published on the listing — the title and the fourth bullet describe a two-way fan system, which is not explained anywhere. Whether that names two fans, two directions or a reversible arrangement is not stated, and nothing says which way the air moves
    Thermostat or speed control
    A built-in thermostat switching the fans on and off automatically as the temperature crosses a set threshold, stated in the first bullet, with a large LCD display in the second for monitoring the current temperature and the fan settings. The threshold range is not published on the listing
    Power connection
    A 1.8 m IEC mains lead, included — stated in the fifth bullet as part of a complete set ready for immediate installation

    KOSCOM CONNECT roof fan unit, two fans, switch and thermostat

    The cheapest cooling unit in this hub and the least documented product on any shelf of this site: two fans, a switch and a thermostat named in the title, and one sentence of description behind them.

    Fan count
    Two — stated in the title. No bullet repeats or expands on it
    Fan size
    Not published on the listing — no diameter, no frame dimension and no fan model appears. The single bullet calls the fans powerful and stops there
    Stated airflow
    Not published on the listing — no figure of any kind appears. The single bullet says the unit provides optimal air circulation in a network or server cabinet, which is a claim rather than a measurement
    Airflow unit
    Not published on the listing, because no airflow figure is given for a unit to attach to. Two of the seven listings on this shelf publish a figure, one in cubic feet per minute and one in cubic metres
    Stated noise level
    Not published on the listing — no decibel figure and no measuring distance appears anywhere
    Roof or rack-mount format
    Roof — stated in the title as a roof fan unit for a network cabinet, and repeated in the single bullet
    Rack units occupied
    Not published on the listing — a roof unit sits in the cabinet top rather than on the rails, and the page never says so or gives any mounting dimension
    Airflow direction
    Not published on the listing — nothing says which way the fans push, and nothing says whether they can be reversed in their frame
