Frequently Asked Questions
What is a shielded patch panel and why would I choose one over unshielded?
A shielded (STP) patch panel includes EMI/RFI shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference. Use shielded panels in high-interference environments, data centers with heavy electrical loads, or when connecting sensitive equipment.
What are snap-in RJ45 modules and how do they simplify installation?
Snap-in modules come pre-terminated with the wiring already inside the connector. They simply push into the panel frame without requiring individual pair punch-down, saving installation time and reducing mistakes.
What does T568A/B universal wiring mean?
The panel and modules support both T568A and T568B wiring standards, allowing flexibility if your facility uses mixed or transition standards. Installers can follow either convention without hardware changes.
How does a nickel-plated shielded cover improve performance?
The shielded cover completes the Faraday cage around the panel, containing electromagnetic fields and preventing external interference from reaching internal connections. Nickel plating prevents corrosion and maintains conductivity over time.
Is integral cable management necessary in a shielded 24-port panel?
Yes, the shielding increases panel density and complexity. Integral cable management keeps shielded patch cords organized and prevents tangling that could compromise EMI protection.
Can I upgrade from unshielded to shielded panels without rewiring?
If you already have Cat.6 STP cable installed, moving to a shielded panel requires new terminations and RJ45 modules. The cable itself is compatible, but the panel and patch cord connectors must all be shielded.
What lead times apply to shielded patch panels?
Specialized shielded panels may have longer lead times than standard unshielded options. Contact Procure.ae to confirm current availability and delivery schedule.
Do you provide installation guidance for shielded panel deployment?
Procure.ae can advise on EMI mitigation and shielded panel best practices. For technical installation support or grounding considerations, reach out to our team.
How many RJ45 modules are included with this panel?
The Avalon 24-port shielded panel comes ready to accept 24 snap-in RJ45 modules. Procure.ae supplies compatible modules separately to match your connectivity needs.
What type of grounding does the shielded cover require?
The shielded panel should be properly grounded to provide EMI protection. Contact Procure.ae for detailed grounding requirements and recommendations.
Is the panel compatible with Cat.6 STP keystone jacks?
Yes, the Avalon shielded panel is designed for Cat.6 STP keystone jacks, though the snap-in module design may differ from traditional keystone installation. Confirm module compatibility with Procure.ae.
