Panduit CP24BLY 24pt All Metal Modular Patch Panel 1 Ru

The Panduit CP24BLY is a 24-port, all-metal modular patch panel that occupies 1 rack unit, suited to network installers and IT teams organizing connections in a rack-mounted cabling setup.

Recommended For

• Network cabling installers building a shielded copper termination field who want a rack-mounted panel that accepts Panduit Mini-Com shielded jack modules.
• IT teams organizing up to 24 network drops in a standard 1U rack space, with labeled ports for identifying connections.
• Facilities standardizing shielded Cat 5e, Cat 6, or Cat 6A cabling around Panduit Mini-Com modules and compatible system components.
• Rack builders who prefer a flat, stainless-steel panel and expect to make moves, adds, or changes by snapping compatible Mini-Com shielded modules in and out.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a network closet, terminate building cable runs at the rack and use short patch cords to connect selected room or office drops to a network switch; this keeps routine connection changes at the rack rather than at the permanent cable runs.
• For a small rack serving IP cameras, bring camera cable runs to the panel, then patch the needed ports to a PoE switch; this gives installers a central place to manage camera connections. The panel itself does not supply power.
• In a rack using shielded twisted-pair cabling, use compatible Mini-Com shielded jack modules with the panel; this provides a rack-side termination point for that cabling system. Confirm the modules, cable, and installation meet the project’s requirements.
• When adding or rearranging network connections in a rack, use the panel as a fixed landing point for up to 24 cable runs and change the short patch-cord connections as needed; spare populated ports can make later additions easier to manage.
• For a rack with several room, camera, or device runs, label the panel ports to match the cable destinations; technicians can then identify and repatch connections more easily during troubleshooting or equipment changes.
