The Platinum Tools 643-48U is an excellent unshielded 48-port patch panel. It mounts neatly in 2RU of EIA-standard 19' 2-post or wall-mount rack enclosures. The ports are numbered for easy ID, and the write-on labels come with protective covers. The included cable support bracket can secure cables, maintain the bend radius, and is removable for optional use. This unloaded patch panel simplifies media integration. It's field-configurable, allowing you to mix and match keystones for RJ45, Audio/Video, Voice, HDMI, USB, Fiber, etc. Upgrading categories is a breeze, and it's easy to add new runs or replace damaged ports. The ports are compatible with Platinum Tools and industry-standard keystone components. Key features include 48 blank cutouts for various keystones, suitability for multiple applications, easy port identification, and more. It's perfect for residential or small office use and helps maximize limited rack space.
Using this patch panel is quite simple. First, decide where you want to mount it, either on a 2-post rack or a wall-mount rack enclosure that follows the EIA standard. Then, start populating the ports with the keystones you need for your specific applications like RJ45 Ethernet or HDMI audio/video. Make sure to use the numbered ports for easy identification. You can write important information on the labels and use the protective covers to keep them clean. When it comes to cable management, use the support and management bar to secure the cables and maintain the required bend radius. You can even remove the bar if you don't need it. For maintenance, regularly check the ports and keystones for any signs of damage. If a port is damaged, it's easy to replace it. Also, keep the panel clean from dust to ensure optimal performance. And when you need to upgrade the category, it won't be a hassle. Just add the appropriate keystones and you're good to go.
