Leviton 69586-U12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Leviton 69586-U patch panel come with jacks, or do I order the modules separately?
It ships as an unloaded universal panel. The 69586-U is a flat Category 6 universal panel that accepts standard Category 6 modules, so you buy the panel for the port count you need and populate it with your own Cat 6 module inserts. Budget the jacks as a separate line item on the job.
2) Should I get the 12-port or 24-port Leviton 69586-U patch panel?
Match the panel to your drop count. The 69586-U12 gives you 12 ports and the 69586-U24 gives you 24, both in the same 1U height. If you are wiring a small closet or an office with a dozen drops, the 12-port keeps the field small and easier to label. Anything approaching two dozen drops, take the 24-port rather than stacking two 12s, since both consume the same 1U of rack space either way.
3) Will this Leviton Cat6 patch panel mount in a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet?
Yes. The 69586-U is built for standard 19-inch equipment racks and cabinets and occupies one rack unit of height. The black painted finish is meant to blend with typical rack hardware in a network closet or data center cabinet.
4) Is a 14-gauge steel patch panel worth it over a lighter panel for a busy rack?
The 69586-U chassis is fabricated from 14 gauge painted steel, which is on the heavier end for a 1U panel. The practical benefit is that the port field does not flex when someone is pushing patch cords in and out all day, so the modules stay seated and the panel does not bow between the rack rails. For an active cross-connect or a rack that gets touched often, that rigidity is the reason to pick it.
5) Can I use this Leviton universal panel for both voice and data drops in the same closet?
Yes, that is the point of the universal format. Because the 69586-U takes standard Category 6 modules rather than fixed jacks, you load whichever module type your cross-connect calls for and keep one panel style across the telecom room. It is used for structured cabling, cross-connect work, and commercial LAN infrastructure.
6) What is the exact Leviton part number for the 24-port version of this patch panel?
Order the 24-port as Leviton 69586-U24, and the 12-port as 69586-U12. Both are the same universal Category 6 flat panel in 1U, 14-gauge black painted steel, differing only in port count.
7) Is this a flat panel or an angled patch panel?
Flat. The Leviton 69586-U is a flat universal Category 6 panel, so the port field sits in the plane of the rack rails. Flat panels normally want a horizontal cable manager above or below to turn the patch cords; angled panels are the alternative if you are trying to route cords to the side rails without a manager.
8) Will this panel hold up in an unconditioned or dusty MDF closet?
The housing is painted steel rather than plastic, so it tolerates knocks and handling in a working closet better than a molded panel. Keep in mind the finish is a black paint over steel, so it is intended for indoor rack environments such as server rooms, network and telecom closets, not wet or exterior locations.
