TC-P48C5E

I purchased 8 of these patch panels, and terminated Cat5e on every port using a 110 punch tool. Not a single bad port, and everything is working reliably. I would highly recommend these to anyone. Don't let the low price scare you, these are very much a professional quality patch panel. I've also used some of the 24 port configuration style, with the same results. (I used these panels with the 'Tripp Lite SP2POST 2-Post Open Frame Rack Server Cabinet 45U' also available on amazon, and also highly recommended).

This is a great patch panel. I was shocked by the price of 48 ports at the local supplier being over $250 so I checked amazon and found this. It installed just fine and as far as I can tell it does bottle neck the system and looks great.

It is what it says that it is. I don't wire in place typically as all of them appear flimsy when punching it down but duh! The price is right and it is easy to get to. I have a huge steel shelf and punch down on that so it is near to the right spot. Then remove the shelf and place the panel. Simple and effective solution. The design makes it pretty easy to run wire and route it properly. The design also makes a pretty easy time of getting into a full panel as long as you plan ahead.

The product comes easily marked and has no "real" defects or flaws. The problem as I see it is that during termination, you have to hold the block of ports in with your one hand while while punching down with the other hand. If you do not you may have the ports come out. Since this is the only real issue I had with this I still gave it 3 stars but I may go back to my more expensive brand next time.

I installed this for a customer, who had someone else run all the cables. This leads to several problems, but none of the related to the product purchased. In fact, the product handled everything I threw at it with flying colors. The patch panel came with all instructions, mounting bolts, and everything else you would expect. The issues I faced was that the person that ran the cables did not bother labeling all of the cables AND drilled into some of the wires after he ran the cables. This lead to false tones, dead wires, and multiple rip-outs and re-punches. TRENDnet hit it out of the park with the ability to handle the multiple re-punches and no ports were an issue here. 5/5, very happy and I would rebuy without a second thought.

Worked as expected, no issues. I actually like the staggered design layout.

I bought this to use in an office remodel I contracted. We ended up running 36 Cat5e lines and had no problems with this patch panel for any of the connections. The techs were able to test and certify each connection. For future networking remodels, I'll definitely buy again.

We had to return this item because it uses a special punch down blade. The pins are pitched at an angle. Apparently this is common over seas, but was the first time I'd seen it here. If your ok with buying the correct blade for your punch, I'm sure the patch panel itself is fine.

Making connections worked fine. I haven't fully tested it yet with digital signals.

I was skeptical about the build quality of this patch panel. It's very good! Sturdy and high quality. Shipping was super fast.

Good quality product.

Works as intended.

Good pric, good job !!
