Patch Panel METZ CONNECT 130861-0602-E

Patch Panel METZ CONNECT 130861-0602-E is a surface-mounted, unequipped module housing designed for modular installations. The housing is made from solid steel sheet with the upper part powder-coated in RAL 9010. It supports equipotential bonding via a contact pin, provides additional strain relief on the lower section with cable ties, and can be mounted directly to a wall, used as a desktop device, or fitted to a DIN rail with the mini FS adapter. The bottom of the 3-port and 4-port variants can be removed and offers an extra fastening option via a 60 mm clearance. Various port configurations are available: 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 and 2 x 12.

Advantages

The METZ CONNECT 130861-0602-E housing combines robust steel construction with a removable, screwless upper cover for easier access during installation and maintenance. Multiple mounting options (wall, desktop, DIN-rail with adapter) increase flexibility for different deployment scenarios. Built-in equipotential bonding and cable tie strain relief enhance safety and cable management. Removable bottoms on the smaller variants and optional accessories—such as the mini splice tray and a strain relief for patch cords (130861-24ZE-E) for 2 x 12 units—allow adaptation to specific cabling needs.

Suitable for

• Small to medium structured cabling installations
• Surface-mounted patching points in offices or small server rooms
• Desktop network termination or wall-mounted network outlets
• DIN-rail installations using the mini FS adapter

How to use

Mount the housing directly to the wall, place it on a desktop, or attach it to a DIN rail using the mini FS adapter. Remove the upper part by lifting it off (no screws required) to install modules or internal accessories such as the optional mini splice tray. Use the contact pin for equipotential bonding where required and secure cables with cable ties at the lower strain relief. For 3- and 4-port variants, remove the bottom panel if access through the underside is needed and use the 60 mm fastening clearance for additional fixation.

Usage recommendations

Choose the port variant that matches your number of modules and, if using 2 x 12, add the strain relief 130861-24ZE-E for proper patch-cord handling. Consider the optional mini splice tray when fibre splices or additional internal management is required.
