Patch panel PHOENIX-CONTACT FL-PP-RJ45 Cat.5e montaggio su guida DIN, 8 porte RJ45

PHOENIX-CONTACT FL-PP-RJ45 Cat.5e is an 8‑port DIN-rail mount mini patch panel that provides Cat.5e RJ45 connectivity for structured network installations. It serves as the interface between field cabling and internal cabinet wiring, allowing pre-assembled patch cables to connect end devices via the RJ45 sockets. The compact housing is made of PVC/PA and the product dimensions are 29 mm (width) x 90 mm (height) x 53 mm (length).

Advantages

The mini patch panel eliminates the need to crimp RJ45 plugs onto field cables by offering an RJ45 socket on the front and eight LSA termination contacts at the rear. Termination is possible on screw or LSA terminals depending on the variant, with clear markings for Ethernet standards TIA‑568A, TIA‑568B and PROFINET. Shield connection to the DIN rail can be made directly or via an RC element using a jumper. The unit accepts conductors in the AWG 26–22 range and supports solid and flexible conductors with cross-sections from 0.128 to 0.325 mm².

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the mini patch panel on a standard DIN rail inside the cabinet. Terminate the incoming field cabling onto the LSA or screw terminals according to the printed TIA‑568A/B or PROFINET labeling. Connect end devices or switches with pre‑made RJ45 patch cables into the front RJ45 sockets. If required, fit the provided jumper to establish shield contact to the DIN rail directly or via the RC element.

Recommendations

Use pre‑assembled Cat.5e patch cords for reliable connections and follow standard Ethernet wiring schemes (TIA‑568A or B) to ensure correct pairing. Verify conductor cross‑section compatibility (0.128–0.325 mm²) before termination and ensure the shield jumper configuration matches your cabinet grounding practice.
