Rack-mount RJ45 patch panels fit into AV equipment racks, with front-mounted jacks, rear 110 punch-down terminals, and compact 1U or 2U configurations for centralized wiring. Wall-mount RJ45 patch panels use a bracket and removable two-piece design, making them well suited for distributed AV layouts where a rack is not available.

Choose a port count that covers current AV connections while leaving room for likely additions, changes, and troubleshooting needs. Twelve- and twenty-four-port panels use one rack unit, while forty-eight-port panels use two rack units, helping you balance expansion capacity with available rack space.

Look for RJ45 patch panels that support TIA/EIA 568A and 568B wiring standards, giving installers flexibility to follow the project’s established wiring scheme. For termination, rear-mounted, color-coded 110 punch-down terminals paired with front-mounted RJ45 jacks can support organized connections, straightforward testing, and future changes.

Front-mounted RJ45 jacks and rear-mounted 110 punch-down terminals separate patching from cable termination, while color-coded terminals support TIA/EIA 568A or 568B wiring standards. Rack-mount panels can flip so terminals face outward during punch-downs, and a two-piece wall-mount design allows the panel to be removed for wiring and snapped back into place afterward.
