High-Density Fiber Patch Panel Solutions

High-Density Fiber Patch Panel Solutions

Future-Proofing Your Fiber and Copper Network Infrastructure

Growing demand for faster access to larger volumes of data, emerging high-speed network standards and rapidly advancing technology make it necessary to integrate equipment with different network speeds into your network infrastructure.

Modular patch panel solutions allow you to seamlessly and conveniently integrate equipment with 10 Gb, 40 Gb and 100/120 Gb speeds to meet your connectivity needs today – and cost-effectively future-proof your network for tomorrow.

Solutions support ANSI/TIA-942 structured network cabling standards for data centers and have three components: enclosure panels, cassettes and cables.

Enclosure Panels

Enclosure panels mount in standard racks and house a range of modular, removable cassettes for fiber or copper connections.

  • Built-in cable management in any direction
  • Intuitive labeling for cable organization
  • Front- and rear-mounting capabilities
  • Support for singlemode and multimode applications
High-Density Enclosure Panels for Fiber Cassettes High-Density Enclosure Panels for Fiber/Copper Cassettes
Compatibility with fiber installations Compatibility with both fiber and copper installations
1U enclosure panel for up to 5 cassettes (up to 60 Duplex LC ports) 0U magnet-mount sleeve for 1 cassette
2U enclosure panel for up to 14 cassettes (up to 168 Duplex LC ports) 1U enclosure panel for up to 4 cassettes
Cassettes are interchangeable between fiber enclosure panels Cassettes are interchangeable between fiber/copper sleeve and enclosure panel

Cassettes

Cassettes install in enclosure panels without tools. Screw tabs lock cassettes into place.

  • Available in breakout and pass-through models
  • Interconnect different fiber speeds
  • Create distributed redundancy
  • Easy to mix, match, add and replace

Cables

Cables connect devices to cassettes. Modular patch panel solutions use standard, readily available patch cables.

  • Available connectors include Duplex LC, MPO/MTP, SFP+, QSFP+ and RJ45
  • Select cables have push/pull tabs for easy insertion and removal without tools

Accommodate Future Standards and Network Growth

FLEXIBILITY SCALABILITY COMPATIBILITY
Change a single cassette without replacing the panel or removing other cassettes Add enclosure panels to populate with more cassettes Simply and elegantly connect equipment with different network speeds
Integrate cabling with higher network speeds by swapping existing cassettes with new cassettes that support the higher speeds Manage varying port densities and speeds in a single high-density patch panel to save valuable rack space and help lower data center costs Accommodate future standards
