2. Introduction
The Black Box® GigaTrue® CAT6 Patch Panels are component-level panels that enable users to make patching transitions
from horizontal cable to typical stranded patch cable. These sturdy panels meet Category 6 component level performance
requirements, and universal wiring enables each cable to be terminated to either T568A or T568B wiring schemes. In addition,
this patch panel supports an optional rear cable management bar to assist and organize your final bulk cable termination. Simply
follow the color-coded guides on the panel; they identify the sequence of cable pair terminations.
After ordering a GigaTrue CAT6 Patch Panel, you should have received the following items:
• (1) GigaTrue CAT6 Patch Panel
• (8), (16), or (32) cable ties

3. Installation
1. Make sure that the screws on each of the four corners of the patch panel are tightly secured to your rack or cabinet.
If necessary, use a screwdriver to tighten each screw.
2. Prepare the cable by stripping about 2 inches (5.1 cm) of the cable jacket. Be careful not to damage the twisted wire!
3. Next, punch down the cable. Place each wire pair next to the appropriate wiring color/label. Refer to Figures 1 and 2 for T568A
and T568B color codes.
Figure 1. Color codes for T568A/T568B wiring on the wiring label.
NOTE: For best performance, keep the untwisted part of the wire less than 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) long.
Using a punchdown tool, terminate each wire. Push the 110 punchdown tool to the edge of the 110 connector to trim the
conductors. See Figure 2.
