TRENDnet TC-P12C6: the 10-inch 12-port panel for the NavePoint 6U

The Cable Matters 180010 is 19-inch. It will not hang in the NavePoint 6U. TC-P12C6 is 254 mm / 10 in. Maker store $28.59 this pass. You still need a 110 punch-down.

SKU TC-P12C6, Version V2. 12 × 1000Base-T RJ-45. 250 MHz Cat6, ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2. T568A and T568B color codes. IDC takes 110 or Krone. Labels above the ports. Cable holders and ties in the box. 254 × 44 × 30 mm (10 × 1.7 × 1.2 in). 230 g / 8 oz. NDAA. 3-year limited. Depth is 1.2 in, so it fits the NavePoint 7 in max mount with room left for the punch-down side. This is not the wall-mount TC-P12C6V with the 89D bracket.

TRENDnet store $28.59, 23 Aug 2026. Newegg search card $49.99 plus $5.99 ship this pass — do not make that the buy. Amazon US did not print a clean buy-box dollar on this fetch; print the live tag. NeutronUSA had $35.84 on 2 Aug 2026. Buy the maker card unless a US shop undercuts it.

Skip

Skip this if the rack is the StarTech 12U — hang the 19-inch Cable Matters. Skip the Newegg $49.99 card while the maker sells the same SKU for $28.59. Skip TC-P12C6V unless you want the 89D wall bracket. Skip StarTech C6PANL4512 (10-inch, 45-degree, wall). Skip Cable Matters 180058 vertical mini. Skip empty keystone frames. You still need a 110 or Krone tool; it is not in the TRENDnet box. Use the Klein VDV427-300. Used eBay lots are out. We have not punched one.
