NorStone Panneau de brassage 24 x RJ45 CAT6
Overview
The Norstone Pro 24-port CAT6 patch panel is a fundamental component for structuring and efficiently organizing your audiovisual or IT network. This often-overlooked technical element serves as the central interface where all your network cables converge, enabling optimized connection management in your audiovisual rack. With its 24 RJ45 category 6 ports, this panel offers the versatility needed to build a solid infrastructure capable of meeting current and future high-speed data transmission demands.
Architecture and Technical Design
The Norstone Pro patch panel comes in a standard 19-inch format (482 mm wide) compatible with all conventional racks. Its 1U height (44 mm) optimizes space in your rack, while its 100 mm depth ensures installation without excessive bulk. Its robust metal structure, typically made of 1.2 mm thick DC01 steel sheet with a matte black finish (RAL9004), guarantees durability and resistance.
Each port is clearly numbered and accompanied by a labeling field, facilitating quick identification of connections during maintenance or reconfiguration operations. This attention to detail reflects Norstone’s professional approach in designing this panel, tailored for environments where reliability and organization are paramount.
The design incorporates cable fastening systems, reducing mechanical stress and extending the lifespan of connections. These discreet technical design elements significantly contribute to the longevity and reliability of your entire infrastructure.
Performance and Technical Standards
The Norstone Pro CAT6 panel is designed to support a transmission frequency of 250 MHz, in line with category 6 specifications. This technical capability allows it to handle standard Ethernet applications (10Base-T), Fast Ethernet (100Base-TX), and Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T). For demanding audiovisual installations, this high bandwidth is essential for the smooth transmission of high-definition audiovisual content, including 4K or higher streams.
The product complies with international standards ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.2-1 and ISO/IEC 11801, as well as Class E classification according to EN50173. These certifications ensure interoperability with other network components adhering to these standards, guaranteeing seamless integration into your existing or new infrastructure.
The construction of the RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensures optimal conductivity and resistance to corrosion, key factors for long-term connection reliability. These technical features, often invisible to the naked eye, significantly enhance the overall quality of signal transmission.
Installation Flexibility and Compatibility
The Norstone Pro patch panel stands out for its installation versatility. It is compatible with LSA and 110 connection systems, offering appreciable flexibility during deployment. This dual compatibility allows you to use the most common insertion tools on the market, whether Krone or 110 type tools.
The rear connectivity is organized horizontally with LSA connection strips, facilitating access and simplifying installation work. The panel is compatible with both solid and stranded cables of various sizes (typically between 22 and 26 AWG), adapting to diverse installation configurations.
Color coding for T568A and T568B wiring standards is present on the connectors, allowing immediate visual identification and minimizing errors during wiring. This attention to technical details reflects Norstone Pro’s commitment to offering a product suitable for both professionals and advanced users.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the concrete difference between a CAT6 panel and a CAT5e panel for my audiovisual installation?
The CAT6 panel offers a bandwidth of 250 MHz compared to 100 MHz for CAT5e, significantly improving interference management and enabling more stable speeds. For audiovisual applications handling HD/4K streams or multiple simultaneous sources, this additional capacity ensures no latency or quality loss. CAT6 also provides future-proofing, compatible with emerging technologies requiring more bandwidth.
How to choose between a UTP (unshielded) panel and an FTP/STP (shielded) panel?
This choice mainly depends on your installation environment. In a standard residential setting with minimal electromagnetic interference, a UTP panel will generally suffice. However, if your installation is near equipment generating electrical disturbances (transformers, motors, transmitters) or if you seek maximum reliability, opt for an FTP/STP panel whose shielding will protect signal integrity.
How to efficiently organize cables behind the panel?
For optimal organization, group cables by zone or function using reusable cable ties. Maintain sufficient but not excessive length to facilitate future handling. Use the cable guides integrated into the panel and plan a service loop for each cable. Label both ends of each cable with a reference corresponding to the panel port, which is also a recommended practice to simplify maintenance.
