Panduit PanZone Cat6A 48-Port Patch Panel

The Panduit CPPL48WBLY is a 48-port Category 6A UTP patch panel for 19-inch rack or cabinet mounting, forming the structured cabling termination point for ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Cat6A horizontal cabling systems that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) to IEEE 802.3an at distances up to 100 metres. The panel's 48 keystone-jack module positions are factory-loaded with Panduit CJ6X88TGYL Mini-Com Cat6A keystone jacks, each tested and certified to exceed TIA-568.2-D channel performance requirements including insertion loss, NEXT, FEXT, PSNEXT, RL, and ACR-F measurements across the full 1–500 MHz frequency bandwidth. The angled front panel design presents each port at 45 degrees to the horizontal, reducing the bending radius stress on patch cord RJ-45 plugs and enabling higher patch cord density without exceeding Cat6A minimum bend radius requirements.

NEOM's data centre and smart-city telecommunications infrastructure represents the flagship Saudi Arabia application for the Panduit PanZone Cat6A system, of which the CPPL48WBLY patch panel is the horizontal cabling termination component. NEOM's Backbone Exchange — the city's core data centre and internet exchange point — is being designed to Uptime Institute Tier III+ reliability standards, with structured cabling infrastructure specified to TIA-942-A data centre telecommunications infrastructure standard. The TIA-942-A standard mandates Category 6A minimum for horizontal cabling in Tier III data centres, making the CPPL48WBLY the baseline patch panel specification for all active equipment connections in NEOM's network rooms. Panduit's PanZone system has been selected as the preferred structured cabling brand for several NEOM infrastructure packages, with Razz Middle East positioned as the in-Kingdom supply and support partner.

Saudi Arabia's wider data centre construction boom — driven by the Vision 2030 Cloud First policy, CITC's national cloud licensing programme, and the entry of hyperscale cloud providers including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud establishing regional infrastructure in Riyadh — is generating substantial demand for TIA-942 compliant Cat6A patch panels. The CPPL48WBLY satisfies the stringent channel performance requirements specified by hyperscale cloud providers and carrier-neutral data centre operators, and its factory-loaded jack design eliminates field termination inconsistencies that are a common cause of channel test failures on large-scale data centre structured cabling projects. The ARAMCO digitisation programme — including ARAMCO's Data and Analytics centre of excellence in Dhahran and the ARAMCO Trading Company's IT infrastructure in King Abdullah Financial District — also specifies Cat6A structured cabling in its IT infrastructure standards.

Razz Middle East is a Panduit PanZone certified partner and holds CPPL48WBLY and associated Cat6A cable, patch cord, and rack hardware in local stock in Riyadh, positioned for rapid supply to the active data centre construction projects across the Kingdom. Our structured cabling team provides channel performance consulting, TIA-942 zone cabling design, and post-installation Fluke DSX-8000 certification testing to deliver a fully documented, warranty-backed Cat6A infrastructure that satisfies hyperscale tenant requirements.
