Fiber optic DIN-rail patch panel Alantec FOP-DIN-4C, 4 core ports, DIN rail mount

Alantec FOP-DIN-4C is a compact fiber optic patch panel designed for DIN-rail installation, offering four fiber ports to organise and protect fiber terminations and splices in industrial and telecommunications environments. The module supports neat cable routing within control cabinets, small distribution nodes and network closets while providing secure connection points for single- or multi-fibre links. Its slim form factor minimises space on the DIN rail and simplifies access for maintenance and testing.

Advantages

The patch panel provides a space-efficient DIN-rail mount with four dedicated fibre ports that reduce clutter and protect terminations from mechanical stress and dust. Its organised layout supports straightforward cable entry and internal routing, enabling faster service and reduced downtime during installation or repairs. The enclosure is suitable for industrial environments and helps maintain fibre bend radii and connector alignment for consistent signal performance.

Suitable for

• Industrial control cabinets and automation racks
• Small distribution nodes and telecom closets
• Local fibre terminations and short splice enclosures
• Environments requiring compact DIN-rail mounted fibre management

Key specifications

• Form factor: DIN-rail mount
• Number of fibre ports: 4
• Function: fibre termination, patching and splice protection
• Compatibility: standard single- and multi-mode fibre connectors and pigtails
• Construction: compact enclosure for organised cable routing and protection

How to use

Mount the unit on a compatible DIN rail inside a cabinet or rack and secure it according to cabinet layout. Route incoming fibre cables to the panel, observe correct bend radii and terminate or splice fibres using appropriate connectors or pigtails. Place terminated connectors into the panel ports and secure any internal splice sleeves or ties to prevent movement. Label ports as required for identification and perform optical testing to verify continuity and signal levels after installation.

Usage recommendations

Handle fibres and connectors using appropriate ESD and cleanliness procedures. Maintain minimum bend radii for installed fibres, avoid excessive tension on pigtails, and secure cable entry points to reduce mechanical stress. Use compatible connectors and splices and follow standard fibre testing practices after installation to ensure reliable optical performance.
