Pre-wired jacks, clear labelling and steel construction for tidy office network cabinets across Kenya.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 is a 24-port Cat6 UTP patch panel, fully loaded and one rack unit high, available at Mascom International for KSh 6,600 and brand new and sealed. Every one of its 24 RJ45 jacks comes fitted at the factory, so the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 is ready to terminate cable the moment it goes into a standard 19-inch rack or wall cabinet. The jacks accept solid or stranded cable from 22 to 26 AWG and support both T568A and T568B wiring. Collect yours from our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for network installers, IT technicians, school ICT teams and office managers across Kenya, the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 brings order to the tangle behind a switch. Many offices in Westlands and Upper Hill still run desk cables straight into a switch, and one careless tug can knock a whole department offline. A patch panel fixes that. Permanent runs from the walls end at the back of the panel, while short patch cords link its front to your switch. When a desk moves, you swap one patch cord in seconds instead of re-crimping cable or opening the ceiling.
Unlike bare panels that need jacks bought and fitted one at a time, the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 arrives complete, which cuts labour on every install. It meets ISO/IEC 11801 and ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Cat6 performance, so it carries Gigabit Ethernet across a normal office cable run. At Mascom International, we're seeing installers fit it in new offices, clinics and schools from Kisumu to Mombasa. Customers across Nairobi tell us the labelled ports on the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 make fault-finding quicker. Visit our Kimathi Street store to inspect the panel, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241
How much is the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 24-port patch panel in Kenya?
The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 costs KSh 6,600 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price buys the complete panel with all 24 Cat6 jacks already fitted, so you do not pay extra for keystone modules. It also includes a 6-month warranty handled at our Kimathi Street service desk and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Cable, patch cords and rack hardware are separate costs, so plan those into your project budget before the install day.
Is the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 Cat6 or Cat5e, and what speed does it support?
The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 is a Cat6 unshielded (UTP) panel that meets ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-C.2 Cat6 transmission performance. In plain terms, it carries Gigabit Ethernet comfortably across a typical office run when paired with Cat6 cable and patch cords. It also works with older Cat5e cable, though the link then performs only to Cat5e level. For offices in Kenya moving to fibre internet from Safaricom or other providers, a Cat6 panel keeps the internal network from becoming the slow link.
What does fully loaded mean on the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241?
Fully loaded means all 24 RJ45 jacks are already installed in the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 when you open the box. On an unloaded panel, you buy each keystone jack separately and clip it in yourself, which adds cost and time. Here, you mount the panel, punch your cables into the rear terminals and start patching. For an installer wiring several floors in a Nairobi office block, skipping 24 jack fittings per panel saves real hours on site.
How does the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 compare with the shielded D-Link NPP-C62BLK241?
The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 is unshielded, while the D-Link NPP-C62BLK241 is a shielded Cat6 panel with keystone jacks and dust shutters. Shielding protects signals from electrical noise, but it only works with shielded cable and a proper earth connection. Most Kenyan offices, schools and shops run standard UTP cable, so the unshielded NPP-C61BLK241 is the right match. Pick the shielded panel only for factories in Industrial Area or sites near heavy motors, generators or high-voltage lines.
Will the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 fit my rack or wall cabinet?
The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 takes one rack unit (1U) of height and mounts in standard 19-inch racks and wall-mounted network cabinets. Those are the cabinets most Kenyan installers use, from small 6U wall boxes in shops to floor racks in server rooms. Check that your cabinet has a free 1U slot near the switch so patch cords stay short. If you are unsure about depth or fixing points, send us your cabinet model on WhatsApp before ordering.
How does the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 cope with dust, heat and power cuts in Kenya?
The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 is a passive part, so KPLC power cuts cannot damage it or wipe any settings. It is rated to run from -10°C to 60°C, well beyond the heat inside a closed cabinet in Mombasa or Garissa. The jack contacts carry gold plating, which resists the corrosion that coastal humidity causes. Dust is the bigger risk, so keep the cabinet door closed and fill unused front ports with blanking plugs or spare patch cords.
Which tools and cable do I need to install the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241?
You need a 110 or Krone punch-down tool, Cat6 cable and Cat6 patch cords to install the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241. The rear terminals accept solid or stranded wire from 22 to 26 AWG, which covers standard Cat6 installation cable. Choose T568A or T568B wiring and use the same standard at both ends of every run. A cable tester confirms each link after termination, and we recommend testing every port before handing a job over to a client.
Who should buy the D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 and who should skip it?
The D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 suits installers, school ICT teams and offices wiring between 8 and 24 network points into one rack. It is a strong fit for a law firm, clinic or SACCO office setting up structured cabling properly. Skip it if you run only two or three devices from a home router, since a small switch and direct cables do the job. Sites needing more than 24 points should consider a 48-port panel, or two of these stacked. Factories with heavy electrical noise are better served by a shielded panel and shielded cable.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Performance
- 24 RJ45 ports, all pre-loaded — terminate up to 24 network points, such as desks, IP cameras or VoIP phones, in one panel.
- Cat6 UTP rating — unshielded twisted pair built for Gigabit Ethernet, the speed most Kenyan office switches and fibre routers now use.
- Meets ISO/IEC 11801, ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B.2 and 568-C.2 — international cabling standards, so the panel passes certification tests when installed correctly.
- IDC punch-down termination — insulation displacement contacts cut through the wire jacket as you press it down, making a secure connection without stripping.
- T568A and T568B wiring — colour-coded labels for both standards, so the panel matches whatever scheme your building already uses.
- Rated for at least 750 plug insertions per jack — years of normal patching, even in offices that move desks often.
- Jack retention strength of 7.7 kg — patch cords stay firmly seated and do not slip out when the cabinet gets bumped.
Compatibility and Installation
- Works with 110 and Krone punch-down tools — the two tool types Kenyan network installers carry, so no special tool is needed.
- Accepts 22 to 26 AWG solid and stranded wire — covers standard Cat6 installation cable and thinner stranded runs alike.
- One rack unit (1U) high — fits standard 19-inch racks and wall cabinets, leaving room for a switch directly below.
- Works with any Ethernet switch, router or NVR — the panel simply extends cable runs to your active network equipment.
- Backward compatible with Cat5e cable and cords — existing Cat5e runs still connect, though they perform at Cat5e level.
- Insertion force of no more than 20 newtons — patch cords push in smoothly, which matters when patching dozens of ports at once.
Build and Materials
- SPCC steel panel, 1.6 mm thick — cold-rolled steel that resists bending when cables pull on the rear terminals.
- Black RAL 9005 paint finish — matches most network cabinets and switches for a neat, uniform rack front.
- Jack housings in glass-fibre reinforced PBT, rated UL94 V-0 — a flame-retardant plastic that stops burning within seconds if exposed to fire.
- Phosphor bronze jack contacts with nickel plating and 50 micro-inch gold — gold resists corrosion, keeping connections clean in humid coastal towns.
- Tin-plated phosphor bronze IDC terminals — springy metal that grips each wire tightly for a long-lasting termination.
- Operating range of -10°C to 60°C — handles hot, closed cabinets in Kenyan server rooms without any loss of performance.
Inclusions and Labelling
- All 24 RJ45 jacks fitted at the factory — no separate keystone modules to buy, count or clip in.
- Rear support bar in 1.6 mm steel — holds incoming cables steady and takes strain off each terminated wire.
- Transparent ID plate with paper insert — write room numbers or desk names so every port is identified at a glance.
- ID stripes for port allocation — helps technicians trace faults quickly instead of tugging cables to find the right run.
- Works with an optional cable management bar — a separate add-on that routes patch cords neatly across the front.
- Black finish on panel and support bar — the whole unit blends with dark cabinets, switches and cable trays in a server room.
Package Contents
Each brand new and sealed D-Link NPP-C61BLK241 comes as a complete 1U panel with all 24 Cat6 jacks already installed, the steel rear support bar and the transparent ID plate with its paper insert for labelling. That means the panel is ready to mount and terminate on the same day it arrives. Cable, patch cords and the optional cable management bar are not part of this panel, so plan them separately. Confirm the full box contents with us on WhatsApp before your install day.
