Siemon Z-MAX 24-Port Cat 6A Shielded Patch Panel

Siemon Z-MAX 24-Port Shielded Panel

The Siemon Z-MAX Patch Panel delivers industry-leading performance for 10GBASE-T applications. This 24-port shielded solution occupies 1U of rack space. It utilizes specialized Z-MAX 6A outlets to ensure signal integrity. The modular design supports rapid field terminations. Technicians can complete connections in less than 60 seconds using the Z-TOOL. This process maintains pair twists to the point of termination. It significantly reduces alien crosstalk. The panel construction consists of high-strength steel with a black finish. It meets all TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 requirements.

Network engineers benefit from the integrated grounding system. The panel surface is conductive. It automatically establishes a ground path when outlets are snapped into place. This removes the requirement for individual ground wires per port. The rear cable management bar supports heavy cable bundles. It prevents strain on the termination points. Port numbering is clearly visible on the front face. This assists with cable labeling and troubleshooting.

The ZS-PNL-24E kit includes the flat panel and 24 shielded outlets. These outlets feature a 360-degree shield. This provides maximum protection against electromagnetic interference. The system supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 100 meters. It handles high-power PoE++ (Type 4) applications effectively. The hardware design allows for easy removal of individual jacks. This simplifies moves, adds, and changes in the data center.

Siemon engineers this product for high-reliability environments. The steel frame resists flexing during high-density installations. Each port includes a designation area for custom labeling. The panel fits into any standard 19-inch relay rack or cabinet. It maintains a low profile to maximize airflow within the enclosure. This helps regulate temperatures for active equipment mounted nearby.

The termination process eliminates the variability of manual punch-downs. This ensures consistent performance across all 24 ports. The outlets accept both solid and stranded conductors. This versatility suits different patching and horizontal cabling scenarios. The panel’s black powder coat provides a professional appearance in enterprise server rooms. It withstands frequent handling and environmental stress.
