How to choose the high-density fiber optic patch panel

The fiber optic patch panel help manage the termination of optical fiber cables. It is mainly used for the cross-connection of optical cables, management of optical fiber jumpers, and the integration of optical fiber fusion splicing, optical fiber terminals, optical fiber adapters and cable connectors.

The optical fiber distribution box has many specifications, the common ones are rack type and wall box type. The 19-inch standard rack type, in U or RU as the unit, refers to the height of the equipment to be installed in the rack, and usually has a size of 1RU, 2RU, 4RU. It has a slide-out and sliding drawer design, which not only allows flexibly cabling but also protects optical fibers. It is an ideal cabling management solution for data centers.

When the requirement of fiber high-density increases, how to effectively manage and organize a large number of patch cords becomes extremely important. A good fiber distribution box will need to have the function of easy management of patch cord replacement. 

HYC’s uniquely designed high-density fiber patch panel is suitable for standard 19" rack installation. It adopts environmentally friendly, high-strength lightweight materials and excellent surface treatment technology. Each layer is an independent drawer type plug-in cassette controlled by smart spring cotter achieve easy inserting and pulling. Independent cable management frame design at the rear of the panel is easy for fixing the trunk cable. The redundant trunk cable ensure the cassette move properly. And a clear and organized panel pocket label convenient for independent label printing and replacement.

The optical fiber distribution box will take up valuable cabinet space. How to design a space-saving distribution box without affecting the organization and management of the optical fiber system is of great significance. This fiber optic patch panel can be uploaded with maximum LC connecting and cabling. 1U can be loaded with 6 pcs cassettes with 144-core LC or 72-core SC connectors, 2U can be loaded with 12 pcs cassettes with 288-core LC or 144-core SC connectors, 4U can be loaded with 24 pcs cassettes with 576-cores Or 288 core SC connectors. The connections in the cassette can be customized according to application requirements, such as MPO-LC, PLC-LC, WDM-LC, etc.
