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. 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
• (4) 10-32 cuphead screws
• (4) 12-24 cuphead screws
• (1) bag of stuffer caps
• This users’ manual
If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Black Box at 724-746-5500 or info@blackbox.com.
You will also need a punchdown tool (we suggest part number FT025A) to install the patch panel. The punchdown tool is not
included with your patch panel.
3. Installation
1. Make sure that the screws on each of the four corners of the patch panel are tightly secured. 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.
