Product Details

A fiber optic patch panel is commonly described as the interface panel that connects multiple optical fiber cables and optical equipment. Patch panels are rack-mountable onto 19”, 21”and 23” rack systems, and some are designed to be wall-mountable. 12-ports-fiber-optic-patch-panel-opp-01

The benefits of using a fiber patch panel:
Facilitates the easy termination of fiber optic cables
Well-organized and easy-to-manage connections of all the input jacks/ports into a patch panel in a central location
Provides an easier means to connect different devices in different orders as all of the changes can be made at the patch panel
Avoids cost incurred through wear and tear on the input ports of networking equipment as all the connections are patched using the ports in the patch panels

The inside ports of the panel is usually fixed, meaning that the cables aren’t disconnected at any point. The outside ports of the panel is reserved for fiber patch cables that can be plugged and unplugged frequently to arrange the connections between devices as needed.

Fiber patch panel has two compartments. One contains the bulkhead receptacles or adapters, and the other is used for splice tray and excess fiber storage.
