Mini-Com Modular Patch Panels are ideal for Category 5e, Category 6, and multimedia applications. They mount to standard EIA 19 inch racks, and extender brackets are available for use with 23 inch racks. These patch panels are ideally suited for use with the Pan-Net� Cable Management System. Two types are described below:

• MINI-COM SNAP-IN FACEPLATE PATCH PANELS: These accept Mini-Com Snap-In Faceplates, which means that color coding is easy, ports can be added as needed, media can be mixed and matched, and modules can easily be replaced or switched.
• MINI-COM ALL METAL MODULAR PATCH PANELS: These allow shielded jacks to be directly bonded to the panel on installation, which makes them ideal for screen twisted pair applications. No faceplate is required because the modules snap directly into the panel. These patch panels include write-on areas for easy cable identification.

There are four simple steps for installing Mini-Com Snap-In Faceplate Patch Panels:

• STEP ONE: Mount the Mini-Com Snap-In Faceplate Patch Panel and the cable management panel to a standard EIA 19 inch rack.
• STEP TWO: Remove snap-in faceplates. Terminate modular jacks, fiber optic adapters, and coax connectors to their respective cables and install them into the snap-in faceplate. NOTE: Make sure that you maintain pair twists to within one half inch of termination for high performance copper applications.
• STEP THREE: Once all of the terminated modules have been installed in the snap-in faceplate, simply snap the faceplate into the patch panel opening. NOTE: Modules can also be installed into the faceplate when snapped in patch panel.
• STEP FOUR: Install patch cords into the snap-in slots on the front of cable management panel.
