The Netix PPANEL16BL is a blank, unloaded 16-port patch panel for network and server racks. Instead of coming with fixed punch-down ports, it has 16 empty keystone cut-outs, so you clip in exactly the keystone jacks you need: Cat5e or Cat6 RJ45, fibre, HDMI, USB or blanking inserts, and mix them on the same panel. That makes it useful for small office and home lab installs, CCTV cabinets and any rack where you want to combine data with other connections, or add ports gradually as the network grows. Ports are numbered 1 to 16 on the front, and the steel panel has slotted mounting ears for fixing to the rack rails. Esquire lists it as a Cat5e panel; since it is blank, the performance category depends on the keystone jacks you fit. Keystone jacks are sold separately. Supplied in a retail box with Esquire's 2-year limited warranty.
