SP482M Series 48-Port in 1RU Patch Panels
In a market still dominated by Cat 6 copper cabling, the transition to Cat 6A is progressing slowly. Interestingly, we’ve observed that users opting for Cat 6A often choose shielded solutions over unshielded ones. This shift makes sense, as shielded cabling effectively mitigates EMI—an ongoing challenge for unshielded systems. As data rates climb from 1Gbps with Cat 6 to 10Gbps with Cat 6A, the impact of EMI, including alien crosstalk, becomes impossible to overlook. While optical fiber has gained traction in data centers, 10G networking remains more than sufficient for all but hyperscale operations.
The SP482M Series is the ideal choice for maximizing efficiency, offering a high-density 48-port configuration in just one rack unit (RU). This design conserves valuable space in telecom rooms and data centers alike.
