Patch panel MetzConnect 130861-0802-E — aluminium/zinc/steel, white, 163.3×43.6×110 mm

MetzConnect 130861-0802-E is a surface-mounted, unequipped patch panel in a white RAL 9010 finish, made from aluminium, zinc and solid steel sheet. With compact external dimensions of 163.3 × 43.6 × 110 mm it is designed to house individual modules in a modular design and to provide a neat termination point for network cabling in wall-mounted, desktop or rack-adjacent installations. The housing’s upper part is powder-coated and removable without screws for easy access, and the unit is RoHS-certified.

Advantages

The housing combines aluminium, zinc and steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance while remaining compact. Tool-free removal of the upper section simplifies module insertion and maintenance. An integrated contact pin enables equipotential bonding and the lower part of the housing provides additional strain relief options with cable tie attachment. The design supports multiple mounting methods — direct wall mounting, desktop placement and DIN-rail mounting with an available mini FS adapter — allowing flexible deployment in small connectivity points.

Suitable for

• Small network distribution points in offices, server rooms and telecommunications closets
• Wall-mounted or desktop patching of copper or fibre modules (modular inserts)
• Fixtures requiring compact termination panels with easy access for maintenance
• Installations needing equipotential bonding and additional strain relief for cables

Key specifications

• Access: upper housing removable without screws for quick access
• Bonding and strain relief: contact pin for equipotential bonding; lower-part cable tie strain relief; removable bottom on 3- and 4-port variants for cable routing
• Optional accessories: mini splice tray and strain relief variants for patch cords
• Standards: RoHS compliant

How to use

Mount the housing directly on the wall, place it on a desk, or attach it to a DIN rail using the mini FS adapter when required. Remove the powder-coated upper section without tools to install the chosen modular inserts, secure modules into the modular cutouts and route cables into the lower compartment. Use the contact pin to establish equipotential bonding and attach cable ties to the lower-part strain relief points for secure cable management. For installations using the 3- or 4-port layout, detach the bottom section as needed to improve cable access and use the 60 mm fastening clearance for additional fixation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible modular inserts sized for the housing and select the appropriate variant (port count and optional strain relief accessories) to match the planned cabling. If mounting on a DIN rail, fit the official DIN rail adapter mini FS. Observe local grounding and bonding regulations when using the equipotential contact pin, and secure patch cords with the recommended strain relief accessories to prevent mechanical stress on terminations.
