Express Rack Mount Patch Panel 1U and 2U

The Fiber

Express 1U and 2U Rack Mount Patch Panels are equipped with a special hinge that allows

easy access to the rear of the patch panel without disturbing the optical fiber cable. A specially designed

front panel allows connector protection and easy routing of optical fiber patch cords. The Fiber

Express

Rack Mount Patch Panels are also compatible with our 203 mm (8 in.) Splice Organizer Trays. This allows

the optical fiber cable to be either terminated with fiber single-ended patch cords or field-installable

connectors. The patch panels can be used with ST Compatible, SC, 568SC, FC, LC or MT-RJ adapters

strips (ordered separately).

The Fiber

Express 1U Rack Mount Patch Panel is a low-cost, compact assembly designed for interconnection

or splicing of optical fiber cables, from 12 up to 48 fibers if MT-RJ or LC double density adapter strips

are used. The low-profile design minimizes rack space to only 45 mm (1.75 in.). An optional smoked

Plexiglass front cover is also available.

The Fiber

Express 2U Rack Mount Patch Panel offers a high fiber capacity, 96 fibers if using double density

MT-RJ or LC adapter strips. The Fiber

Express 2U comes equipped with a smoked Plexiglass front cover

that protects fiber connections while allowing for quick visual inspection.

Fiber

Express Rack Mount Patch Panel 3U

The Fiber

Express 3U Rack Mount Patch Panel can accommodate up to 96 optical fiber connections

using MT-RJ or LC connectors. The connector panel is mounted on a sliding drawer for easy access to

the back side (cable side) of the panel. The Fiber

Express 3U Rack Mount Patch Panel can be used with

either optical fiber single-ended patch cords or field-installable connectors. If optical single-ended patch

cords are to be used, organizer trays are easily accessible via the removable front access pull-out drawer.

(Trays must be ordered separately.)

The Fiber

Express 3U Rack Mount Patch Panel is a compact cross-connect assembly for the termination

of optical fiber cables. The low-profile design minimizes required rack space to 127 mm (5 in.). It is

compatible with ST Compatible, SC, 568SC, MT-RJ, LC and FC adapters strips (ordered separately).

Fiber

Express Rack Mount Patch Panel 4U

The Fiber

Express 4U Rack Mount Patch Panel is an economical solution for the protection of optical

fiber terminations and splices, up to 192 optical fibers if using MT-RJ or LC connectors. The connector

panel, accepting the Universal Adapter Strips, is located inside the enclosure and swings out (left or right)

to give easy access to the cable and splices.

The Fiber

Express 4U Rack Mount Patch Panel is a compact Cross-Connect enclosure for the cross-

connection, interconnection or splicing of optical fiber cables. The low-profile design minimizes required

rack space to 178 mm (7 in.). It can be used with ST Compatible, SC, 568SC, MT-RJ, LC and FC adapters

strips (ordered separately).
