24-Core Rack Mount Fiber Optic Patch Panel
1. Product Overview
This 24-core rack-mount fiber optic patch panel is a high-density, modular termination unit designed for structured cabling in data centers, telecom central offices, FTTH access points, and enterprise server rooms. It provides a centralized, protected, and manageable interface for splicing, distributing, and patching optical fiber cables.
2. Key Features
-
High-Density Design: Accommodates 24 fiber optic adapters (ports) in a standard 1U rack space, optimizing space efficiency.
-
Modular & Scalable: Features a modular design that allows for easy installation, reconfiguration, and future capacity expansion.
-
Robust Construction: Durable cold-rolled steel chassis with a black electrostatic spray coating for corrosion resistance and protection.
-
Integrated Cable Management: Includes built-in cable entry ports, bend radius limiters, and ample internal space for secure fiber storage and routing, minimizing signal loss and fiber damage.
-
Clear Identification: Equipped with a large, clear labeling area on the front and rear for easy port and circuit identification, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.
-
Universal Adapter Plates: Compatible with industry-standard adapters (LC, SC, etc.), as shown with green LC adapters. Adapter plates are typically removable and interchangeable.
-
Secure Mounting: Supports standard 19-inch rack mounting (with brackets included) and features front-access design for easy operation.
