Black Box’s New 45° Angled-Port Patch Panels Receive Cabling Business Award of Excellence

Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX), an industry-leading
provider of voice communications, data infrastructure, and product
solutions, is proud to announce that its SpaceGAIN 45-Degree
Angled-Port Patch Panels received Cabling Business magazine’s Award
of Excellence in January 2010.
Black Box introduced the new SpaceGAIN CAT5e and CAT6 patch
panels in November 2009. The unique panels feature connectors that
tilt down at a 45-degree angle to make patching easier. That saves
the IT professional valuable time and reduces costs for
installation equipment and labor. The angles also provide strain
relief and maintain bend radii.
The 45-degree angled-ports also free up significant space in
crowded data cabinets. Because cables don’t protrude, users can
save two or four inches, or more, in front of every panel. This is
quite beneficial for cabinets being retrofitted with newer, deeper
equipment. Every inch counts, and cabinet doors often don’t close
or need to be removed to accommodate cabling.
The panels feature RJ-45 connectors on one side and straight
Krone/110 dual-IDC connectors on the other. They’re made of rolled
metal for added strength when punching. The panels are available
with 24 or 48 ports. For more information, see

“We’re proud that Cabling Business recognized these new panels
with an Award of Excellence,” said Andrew Schmeltzer, Cabling
Product Manager for Black Box. “This innovative design is really
quite simple, but it significantly reduces cabling space problems,
cable management, and costs in crowded cabinets.”
