Patch panel lc

This fiber optic front panel is designed for mounting in a 19-inch splice box and occupies 1U of rack height. The panel is equipped with 24 LC Duplex fiber optic couplers and is used as a passive connection point for fiber optic connections with a medium fiber density. Application This front panel is used within a 19-inch splice box to neatly terminate and connect spliced optical fibers. The LC Duplex couplers allow two separate optical fibers per port to be managed within a compact rack setup. Construction and properties The panel consists of a metal front plate with integrated LC Duplex couplers. The couplers are equipped with a zirconia ceramic ferrule for precise alignment of optical fiber cores. Protective caps prevent contamination and damage to unused connections. Specifications • Type: fiber optic front panel for splice box • Rack format: 19-inch • Height unit: 1U • Number of ports: 24 • Connectors: LC Duplex female > LC Duplex female • Fiber capacity: 48 optical fibers • Ferrule: zirconia ceramic • Protection: protective caps per port • Construction: metal front panel • Dimensions (L x W x H): 439.0 x 39.4 x 19.5 mm Explanation of terms used • LC Duplex: fiber optic connector where two separate optical fibers are connected per port, one for transmitting and one for receiving. This enables full-duplex communication within a compact connector. • Multimode fiber: fiber optic type with a larger core than single-mode, intended for transmission over shorter distances within buildings and data centers. • OM2: multimode fiber optic category with a core of 50 µm and a bandwidth of approximately 500 MHz·km. Supports 1 Gb/s up to approximately 550 meters and higher data rates over shorter distances. OM2 is widely used in existing LAN and backbone installations. • Zirconia ceramic ferrule: precision component that ensures exact centering of optical fiber cores, essential for low attenuation and stable signal transmission. • 19-inch: international rack standard for network and telecom installations. • 1U: height unit within a rack, where 1U equals 44.45 mm.
