The new HD panel can pack 48 RJ45 ports into a single compact unit in 19'' rack. The company has designed a compact unit incorporating module holders, cable tie guide and strain relief.

It can be installed without tools from the front in no time, thus reducing the assembly and maintenance work involved, says the company.

The HD panel can be fitted with both unshielded and shielded copper cabling or also with fiber optic cabling.

For copper connections, R&M recommends the current Cat. 6A module in the shielded and unshielded versions (Cat. 6A in accordance with ISO 11801). LC and MPO/MTP adapters are both suitable for fiber optic cabling.

The HD panel therefore provides a foundation for building up modern high-performance data networks operated with 10 and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet.

The HD panel is scalable. Users can start with a 24-port version and gradually retrofit it as needed.

Additional protective plates in the module holder prevent crosstalk (ANEXT) between unshielded copper modules.
