Patch panel Alcasa GC-N0132

The Alcasa GC-N0132 is a 0.5U rack-mounted patch panel engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments. It provides twelve RJ45 ports and supports data transfer speeds up to 10000 Mbit/s. Constructed from durable steel and finished in grey, the compact panel measures 254 mm width, 22 mm height and 100 mm depth, allowing efficient use of rack space in network cabinets and telecommunication racks.

Advantages

The patch panel offers a compact 0.5U form factor that conserves rack space while providing a full set of twelve RJ45 connectors for structured cabling. Steel construction ensures mechanical durability and reliable mounting in standard 19-inch racks. Support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet enables high-speed uplinks and aggregation without additional active equipment at the patching point. The neutral grey finish integrates visually with typical server-room and telecom environments.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centers requiring 10 Gigabit uplinks
• Telecommunications and networking closets for structured cabling
• Office networks needing compact, high-density patching
• Aggregation points for switches and routers in enterprise networks

• Dimensions (W×H×D): 254 mm × 22 mm × 100 mm

How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate screws and cage nuts for a 0.5U space. Terminate network cabling to the rear of the RJ45 connectors following the chosen wiring standard (such as T568A or T568B) and test each connection with a cable tester to verify pair integrity and performance. Use labelled ports to maintain clear documentation of connections, and connect front-facing RJ45 ports to switches or patch cords for live network links. Ensure cables are routed to avoid sharp bends and strain on the RJ45 jacks.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, use certified Cat6A or higher cabling and maintain proper cable management to avoid crosstalk and signal degradation. Periodically inspect terminations and tighten rack mounting hardware to preserve mechanical stability.
