1U 24 port LC/SC fiber patch panel

Product Introduction

This precision-engineered 1U 24 port LC/SC fiber patch panel is specifically designed for terminating optical cables with diameters up to 18mm, providing a highly organized and secure environment for critical network connections. Structurally, it features a heavy-duty cold-rolled steel body with a finely textured, tactile matte finish that offers strong paint adhesion, ensuring long-lasting durability against physical wear and environmental factors. The enclosure provides flexible routing options with 1–2 cable entrances and 1–24 fiber exits, all meticulously sealed with oil-resistant NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) to protect delicate internal components from dust and moisture.

Inside the unit, overlapping splice trays and a dedicated, separate grounding mechanism facilitate safe earthing and straightforward fiber management. Key physical specifications include a standard 1U form factor measuring exactly 436×203mm, a maximum 48-core capacity, and an optical fiber winding radius strictly maintained at ≥40mm to prevent signal loss. Built to endure demanding physical environments, it boasts a lateral pressure resistance of 500N and a shock resistance of 750N, while operating reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +60°C. Fully compliant with the National YD/T925-1997 standard, as well as international TIA/EIA cabling protocols and RoHS/REACH environmental directives, this unit arrives fully loaded with 48 LC duplex OM3 LSZH pigtails (1.5m) and 24 LC OM3 duplex adapters, ready to meet strict global procurement and compliance requirements.

Product Advantage

1. High-Density 48-Core Capacity in Compact 1U Form Factor

This patch panel efficiently accommodates up to 48 fiber cores within a standard 1U rack space, drastically maximizing rack utilization for space-constrained server rooms. The high-density architecture significantly reduces the total number of physical panels required for large-scale network deployments, freeing up valuable real estate in enterprise data centers. Beyond mere density, the system emphasizes modularity and flexible expansion. It supports easily replaceable adapter module panels, allowing network engineers to swap configurations as infrastructure demands evolve. Furthermore, all unused ports can be fitted with specialized dust-proof blanking plates. This thoughtful modular design not only protects current connections but also ensures that future network scaling can be executed smoothly without requiring entirely new hardware investments.

2. Durable Cold-Rolled Steel Construction with Eco-Friendly Safety

Fabricated from premium 1.1mm thick cold-rolled steel, the main panel body delivers exceptional mechanical rigidity and high resistance to structural deformation under heavy loads. The metal surface is treated with a non-toxic, eco-friendly spray coating that complies with strict environmental safety standards, providing an aesthetically pleasing finish that actively resists corrosion, scratches, and daily handling wear. From a safety perspective, the entire unit prioritizes fire prevention and physical security. It comprehensively utilizes LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) flame-retardant materials for the internal pigtails. In the event of extreme heat or fire, these materials prevent the emission of toxic gases, offering maximum physical and fire safety guarantees for confined data centers and densely packed telecommunication environments.

3. Easy Sliding Mechanism for Rapid Deployment and Maintenance

The enclosure is engineered with an industrial-grade, easy-sliding rail mechanism that glides smoothly and locks firmly into place. This allows the internal fiber tray to extend fully outward from the rack without the need to dismount the entire chassis. Technicians gain immediate, unobstructed access to connectors, splices, and adapters for routine inspection, cleaning, or rapid reconfiguration. Perfectly compatible with standard 19-inch server racks, the design supports flexible bidirectional cable entry from both the front and rear. Combined with its plug-and-play pre-terminated setup, this sliding architecture drastically reduces on-site installation time and labor costs. Maintenance personnel can add new fiber links or troubleshoot existing ones without disturbing adjacent active equipment, thereby minimizing costly network downtime.

4. Pre-loaded with Precision-Tested LC OM3 Pigtails and Adapters

Arriving ready for immediate field deployment, this patch panel is factory-loaded with 48 LC duplex OM3 LSZH pigtails (1.5m in length) and 24 LC OM3 duplex adapters. The core quality control of these components is paramount to the product's performance. Each adapter features a built-in, high-precision zirconia ceramic sleeve. This ceramic material provides a firm, tactile click upon insertion and ensures microscopic, exact alignment of the optical fibers. This rigorous attention to component quality guarantees an exceptionally low insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB and a high return loss of ≥35 dB. By utilizing these premium ceramic alignment sleeves, the panel maintains long-term, stable transmission performance, eliminating the signal degradation often associated with inferior plastic or metal alternatives over repeated mating cycles.

5. Superior Cable Management and Visual Identification System

The meticulously planned internal layout guarantees a fiber winding radius of at least 40mm, effectively preventing microbending that can cause severe data packet loss. Separate, dedicated pathways for heavy incoming cables, delicate pigtails, and external patch cords eliminate tangling and physical cross-interference. To drastically improve daily operation and maintenance efficiency, the panel integrates a comprehensive visual identification management system. The front fascia features highly legible, printed numerical numbering for every single port. Additionally, the internal wiring supports precise color-coding that strictly adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-C.3 standard. This visual clarity empowers network administrators to trace specific connections instantly, reducing human error during complex troubleshooting and ensuring that fiber routing remains logically organized throughout the product's lifecycle.
