Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch panel delivers precise port configuration with 12 MTP ports for high-density fiber optic connections, 6 LC duplex ports for standard fiber links, and 18 RJ-11 ports for telephone or low-speed data applications. The LC ports utilize duplex connectors, supporting bidirectional fiber communication in a compact form factor.
The panel's physical design prioritizes space efficiency with dimensions of 1.13" height, 5.10" width, and 4.10" depth, allowing installation in standard 19-inch rack enclosures without excessive depth requirements. This compact footprint maximizes rack space utilization while maintaining accessibility for cable termination and maintenance.
Key Product Advantages
This patch panel combines multiple connectivity standards in one unified solution, reducing the need for separate panels and simplifying infrastructure deployment. The mixed interface support allows network administrators to accommodate diverse equipment requirements without compromising on organization or accessibility.
High-Density Fiber Support
With 12 MTP ports, this panel efficiently handles multi-fiber trunk cables commonly used in data center backbone applications, minimizing cable clutter and improving airflow management.
- MTP connectors support up to 12 fibers each
- Ideal for 40G/100G Ethernet deployments
- Reduces cable bulk compared to individual LC connections
Dual-Purpose Copper Integration
The 18 RJ-11 ports provide flexibility for telephone systems, modem connections, or low-speed data applications alongside fiber optic infrastructure.
- Supports voice and data over copper
- Compatible with standard telephone cabling
- Enables converged network designs
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch panel is optimized for environments requiring mixed media connectivity with high port density in limited rack space. Its configuration supports transitional network architectures where legacy copper systems coexist with modern fiber optic infrastructure.
Typical applications include data center interconnection points, telecommunications central offices, enterprise network distribution frames, and colocation facilities. The panel serves as a consolidation point where fiber backbone cables connect to equipment with various interface requirements, facilitating clean cable runs and simplified troubleshooting.
Data Center Cross-Connect
Deploy between fiber distribution frames and server racks to provide flexible patching options for network equipment with different interface types.
Telecom Infrastructure
Install in central offices or equipment rooms to terminate fiber optic cables while maintaining copper connections for legacy telephone systems.
Physical Profile
The panel's compact dimensions make it suitable for high-density rack environments where space optimization is critical. With a height under 1U standard and moderate depth, it fits comfortably in most rack enclosures without interfering with adjacent equipment or cable management systems. The design supports standard rack mounting hardware and provides clear port labeling for easy identification during installation and maintenance procedures.
