FAQ

What is the maximum speed supported by this patch panel?

The QuickTreX® 24 Port Cat 8 Shielded Ethernet Patch Panel supports up to 40Gbps speeds when used with compatible Cat 8 cable.

What is the grounding wire used for?

The grounding wire ensures that the patch panel is properly grounded, reducing the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensuring a shielded network, which is especially important for high-speed networks.

Can I use this patch panel with cables other than Cat 8?

This patch panel is specifically designed for Cat 8 cables, which provide the required speed and performance for high-bandwidth applications. While it might work with lower-category cables (such as Cat 6 or Cat 6a), the full performance benefits are realized when using Cat 8 cables.

Do I need any special tools to install the keystone jacks?

No, the toolless keystone jacks allow for quick and easy installation without the need for special tools, though we recommend using a cable cutter to trim excess wire for a clean termination.
