Grid 24-Port Rackmount Patch Panel | Cat6/Cat6e/Cat6A Structured Cabling | POEJKPP6-24

Overview

The POEJKPP6-24 is a 24-port, 1U rackmount patch panel designed for Cat6/Cat6e/Cat6A structured cabling in GRID DC microgrid projects. It provides a neat, high-density termination point for workstation drops, POE-Jack® keystones and uplinks in 19" racks, wall cabinets and small IDFs.

Component-compliant to ANSI/TIA Category 6A connecting-hardware requirements, it is engineered to support 10G Ethernet and high-power 802.3bt PoE++ up to 100 W when used with appropriate cabling and terminations.

If you’re looking for a 24-port Cat6/Cat6A patch panel for PoE and PoE++ deployments in Canadian homes or light-commercial spaces, this panel is sized right for most small and mid-sized racks.

Key features

• 24-port, 1U design – fits standard 19" racks, cabinets and wall-mount frames.
• Category 6A component-compliant – designed to meet ANSI/TIA Category 6A connecting-hardware requirements.
• 110-type IDC terminations – accepts UTP wire gauge 21–24 AWG on the rear.
• 50 μin gold-plated contacts – long-life performance under repeated insertions.
• PoE++-ready – performance designed for 802.3bt 100 W PoE++ applications.
• Universal T568A/B wiring – field-configurable to either standard.
• Rear cable-management bar included – supports tidy dressing and strain relief of horizontal cables.
• Standards-compliant – cUL listed, meets ANSI/TIA-568-C and is RoHS compliant.

Technical highlights

Ideal applications

• 24-port racks in small offices, clinics, classrooms and retail spaces.
• Distribution frames serving Active POE-Jack® zones and PoE-powered endpoints.
• Consolidating horizontal Cat6/Cat6e/Cat6A runs in home racks, media closets and network cabinets.
• PoE++ lighting, security and AV projects that need a simple, PoE-ready patching surface.

Compatibility & ecosystem

POEJKPP6-24 is designed to work with Cat6, Cat6e and Cat6A cables and keystone jacks across the GRID ecosystem. Use it with standard Cat6 keystones (JK6-BK/WH) or with POE-Jack® LED keystones when you want port-trace capability on busy panels.

The panel’s PoE++-ready design makes it a solid choice in DC microgrid networks where many ports will carry combined power and data for cameras, APs, lighting controllers and POE-Jack® plates.

Install & design notes

• Terminate horizontal cables to the rear 110-type IDC blocks using the proper punch-down tools and colour codes (T568A or T568B).
• Use the included cable-management bar to dress and tie cables; this reduces strain on IDC terminations.
• Label both front ports and rear cables clearly to align with your DC microgrid zone and jack numbering scheme.
• In PoE++ deployments, follow cable bundling and fill guidance from your cable manufacturer to manage heat rise.

Canada-ready checklist

• ✓ Fits standard 19" racks and wall cabinets common in Canadian homes and commercial sites.
• ✓ cUL listed for use in Canadian low-voltage installations.
• ✓ Suitable for 10G-capable Cat6A backbones and PoE++ projects when used with compliant cabling.
• ✓ Works well in compact condo and townhome racks where 24 ports is a practical maximum.

Compatibility micro Q&A

Can I punch down Cat6e or Cat6 (not Cat6A) on this panel?
Yes. While the hardware is Category 6A compliant, it accepts 21–24 AWG UTP and can be used with Cat6/Cat6e cabling as part of a mixed-category plant.

Is this panel shielded?
No. POEJKPP6-24 is a UTP (unshielded) patch panel. For shielded systems, use matching shielded components and grounding practices.

Does it support PoE++ on all ports?
It is designed to support PoE++ when used with appropriate cabling and switches. Actual power per port will depend on your PoE switch and overall design.
