Patch panel EFB Elektronik 37667.1M

The EFB Elektronik 37667.1M patch panel is a 1U rack-mountable network panel engineered for structured cabling and high-speed data distribution. It provides 24 RJ-45 ports with gold-plated contacts to ensure consistent signal transmission and reduced contact corrosion. With a compact footprint of 483 mm width, 44.5 mm height and 100 mm depth and a grey finish, the panel fits standard 19-inch racks and is intended for server rooms, wiring closets and communication cabinets where space efficiency and reliable connections are required. The panel supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s, making it suitable for modern Ethernet applications and mixed network environments.

Advantages

The patch panel combines a full 24-port density in a single 1U height to save rack space while keeping cabling organized. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve durability and lower contact resistance for more stable connections over time. The standardized 483 mm width and shallow 100 mm depth simplify installation in crowded racks and small enclosures. Its neutral grey finish allows integration into diverse equipment layouts without visual conflict.

Suitable for

• Small and medium office network backbones
• Server room and data cabinet cable management
• Telecommunications and structured cabling projects
• Edge and aggregation switch connections

Key specifications

• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Maximum data rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Colour: grey
• Dimensions (W×H×D): 483 mm × 44.5 mm × 100 mm

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate mounting screws and cage nuts. Terminate each RJ-45 connector with the corresponding cable from your structured cabling runs, following the chosen wiring standard (for example, T568A or T568B). Label ports as needed to maintain clear documentation and to simplify future changes. Ensure cable management accessories are used to avoid strain on the connectors and to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Place the panel within reach of switching equipment and use horizontal cable managers to route patch cords neatly. For best performance, avoid exceeding recommended cable lengths for Ethernet runs and maintain proper bend radii. Periodically inspect gold-plated contacts for dust and clean with appropriate contact-safe tools if necessary.
