APC Actassi 19-C Patch Panel Flat Angled 19" 1U 24pt S-One STP Cat6A

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re building a tidy, mid-sized Cat6A patching area and you care about “front-of-rack” cable management, the APC Actassi flat angled patch panel is a sensible, no-drama buy. The 24-port layout is a good fit for everyday network runs, and the flat/angled form factor tends to make terminations and patch leads sit more naturally than straight panels—so you spend less time fighting cover clearance and more time getting reliable moves/adds/changes done. At £185.29 ex-VAT, it’s not the cheapest option, but it feels like the kind of spend that pays back in faster installation and better-looking cable work rather than trying to cut costs on hardware you’ll touch constantly.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re going for the absolute lowest bill of materials or if your workflow expects “minimal panel footprint” above all else—because you’re paying for fit-and-finish and the angled design. Also, make sure your installer is happy with the termination style you’re standardising on; patch panels aren’t a place to improvise. Overall: best for UK reseller customers doing structured cabling properly (schools, offices, light comms rooms) where Cat6A and clean patching are the brief, and you want a reputable brand panel without overpaying.
