Patch panel MetzConnect 130861-0602-E, aluminium/zinc/steel, white, 125×43.6×110 mm

MetzConnect 130861-0602-E is a compact, surface-mounted patch panel in white with a robust metal construction combining aluminium, zinc and steel. With dimensions of 125 × 43.6 × 110 mm, this unequipped module housing is designed for structured cabling and network installations where a small, durable wall- or rack-mounted termination plate is required. The upper part of the housing is powder-coated in RAL 9010 and can be removed without tools, while the solid steel sheet housing provides mechanical protection for installed modules and cabling.

Advantages

The housing supports multiple mounting options: direct wall mounting, desktop placement and DIN-rail mounting using an optional mini FS adapter. An integrated contact pin allows for equipotential bonding and additional strain relief is provided on the lower section using cable ties. The modular design accepts a range of individual modules and optional accessories such as a mini splice tray or strain relief inserts for patch cords. The design also offers a removable bottom section on 3- and 4-port variants for flexible cable entry and 60 mm fastening clearance for secure installation.

Suitable for

• Small office or residential network terminations where a compact surface-mounted solution is required
• Distribution points in structured cabling for voice, data and multimedia modules
• DIN-rail installations when combined with the mini FS adapter
• Environments requiring equipotential bonding and additional mechanical strain relief for cables

How to use

Select the appropriate variant of the MetzConnect housing for the number of modules required and fit the chosen modules into the modular openings. Mount the housing directly to a wall, place it on a desktop or attach it to a DIN rail using the optional mini FS adapter. Route cables through the removable bottom section where applicable or use the lower cable entry, secure cables with cable ties around the provided strain relief points and connect modules according to the installation plan. If equipotential bonding is needed, use the contact pin to establish a bonding connection. Install optional accessories such as a mini splice tray or strain relief inserts as required.

Usage recommendations

Use the powder-coated upper part as intended: remove and replace it without screws for quick access during installation and maintenance. Ensure mechanical strain relief with cable ties on the lower section and verify equipotential bonding where local installation standards require it. Choose the variant size that provides adequate space for connectors and patch cords to avoid congestion and maintain serviceability.
