Phoenix Contact Patch Panels
Phoenix Contact Patch Panels serve as interface modules between the field and the control cabinet cabling. These patch panels provide a range of benefits, including a clear demarcation point between panel builders and electricians, time savings, and cleaner cabinets. The patch panels offer RJ45, IDC, screw, and push-in connection styles, as well as versions with integrated surge protection and shield current monitoring. These patch panels are complemented by Power over Ethernet injectors, which can supply remote Ethernet devices with data and power via the same cable. The patch panels offer extended approvals with the addition of IECEx and are available in three levels, providing options for a wide range of applications. Typical applications include cabinet building, machine building, process automation, and marine.
