Fiber patch panel A-LAN FOP-1U-24SCD-C-P 1U 19" telescopic 24xSC duplex / 24xLC quad with mounting accessories

A-LAN FOP-1U-24SCD-C-P is a 1U 19" telescopic fiber patch panel engineered for organized termination and management of optical fiber connections. The unit accommodates either 24xSC duplex or 24xLC quad adapters, providing a high-density solution for fiber distribution in data centers, server rooms and telecom cabinets. The panel ships with mounting accessories including grommets and cable ties to support neat cable routing and strain relief in rack installations.

Advantages

The telescopic 1U chassis enables easier access to rear cabling and simplifies installation and maintenance in rack environments. Supporting both SC duplex and LC quad connectors offers flexibility for different fiber connector standards without changing the chassis. Included mounting accessories such as grommets and cable ties help secure and protect fibers, reducing mechanical stress and improving cable organization.

Suitable for

• Data center fiber distribution and cross-connect panels
• Server room or network closet rack installations
• Telecommunications cabinets requiring compact, high-density fiber termination
• Environments where neat cable routing and strain relief are required

When it may not be suitable

This 1U panel is intended for 19" rack systems and will not suit non-rack or wall-only installations without an appropriate rack frame or adapter. It is a passive fiber management device and does not provide active optical functions such as switching or amplification.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U, 19" telescopic chassis
• Adapter capacity: 24x SC duplex or 24x LC quad
• Connector types supported: SC duplex, LC quad
• Included accessories: grommets, cable ties for cable management and strain relief
• Application: fiber termination and patching for singlemode and multimode networks (adapter dependent)

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19" rack at the desired U position using the provided mounting points. Slide the telescopic chassis out to access rear cable entries, route fiber cables through the grommets and secure them with the supplied cable ties to provide strain relief. Install the chosen SC or LC adapters into the front panel, terminate or connect patch cords to the adapters, and use the internal cable routing to maintain bend radii and prevent fiber damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with your rack: requires a standard 19" rack and 1U of rack space
• Connector type needed: choose SC duplex or LC quad adapters according to existing cabling
• Cable management needs: verify whether included grommets and ties meet your routing and strain-relief requirements
• Active equipment requirements: this panel is passive — active devices must be installed separately

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain minimum bend radii for fiber cables, avoid excessive cable tension, label both ends of fiber runs for easy identification, and plan front-to-back routing to keep patch cords organized. Use appropriate adapters and patch cords matched to singlemode or multimode fibers and inspect connector end-faces before connection.
