1RU Rack Mount Fiber Optic Patch Panel

This 1RU rack mount fiber optic patch panel provides termination, distribution, and cable management within optical distribution networks. Engineered for standard 19-inch equipment racks, the enclosure houses up to 2 metal fiber adapter panels (FAP) and supports a maximum capacity of 48 fibers. Its slide-rail sliding drawer design allows technicians to access interior splice trays and adapter bulkheads without removing the chassis from the rack.

Key Features

• Enclosure Material: Fabricated from cold-rolled steel sheet with an electrostatic plastic-sprayed finish to resist mechanical wear and corrosion.

• Sliding Drawer Architecture: Equipped with slide rails and an integrated pothook mechanism for smooth opening, closing, installation, and maintenance.

• Fiber Management and Bend Control: Internal splice trays stack securely and pivot for routing access, maintaining a fiber bend radius of over 37.5 mm.

• Cable Retention and Sealing: Features an adjustable clamp seal ring and reinforcement hardware to secure incoming optical cables of varied outer diameters.

• Connector Compatibility: Accepts standard snap-in adapter plates configured for SC, LC, FC, ST, E2000, and MPO connector types.

Product Configuration

• Form Factor: 1U / 1RU standard height profile.

• Chassis Architecture: Sliding drawer configuration on internal slide rails.

• Adapter Capacity: Accommodates 2 metal fiber adapter panels (compatible with LGX footprint).

• Port Density: Configurable from 2 to 24 adapter positions, supporting up to 48 spliced fiber cores.

Applications

• Optical distribution frames (ODF) and central office cross-connect fields.

• Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) aggregation points.

• Enterprise local area networks (LAN) and telecommunications equipment rooms.

• Data center structured cabling systems.

Selection Considerations

• Connector Footprint: Verify required adapter plate styles (LC duplex, SC simplex/duplex, FC, ST, or MPO) to match your network patching architecture.

• Fiber Core Count: Ensure current and future strand allocations remain within the 48-core maximum splice capacity.

• Chassis Depth Clearance: Confirm equipment rack frame rails provide at least 315.8 mm of clearance behind the mounting ears for proper cable strain relief.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the maximum fiber capacity of this 1RU enclosure?

            The enclosure supports up to 48 fiber splices and fits 2 metal adapter panels, accommodating 2 to 24 adapter ports depending              on connector density.

• What fiber connector styles does the unit support?

              The modular panel openings support metal adapter plates loaded with SC, LC, FC, ST, E2000, or MPO optical adapters.

• How does the unit maintain optical signal integrity during routing?

            The internal stackable splice trays maintain a minimum fiber loop curve radius of over 37.5 mm, preventing macrobending                     loss.

• Can this patch panel be installed in standard telecom frames?

             Yes, the outer chassis measures 484 mm in width and 44.5 mm in height, matching standard EIA 19-inch equipment racks.

This 1RU rack mount fiber optic patch panel delivers dependable protection, flexible modular patching, and organized strand routing for high-density optical distribution systems.
