Patch panel MetzConnect VIK 6xLC-D OM4 1504507506-F — 6-port LC duplex OM4 fiber module

MetzConnect VIK 6xLC-D OM4 patch panel module provides six LC duplex OM4 fiber connections in a compact unit designed for fiber backbone and distribution in data centers and telecom closets. The unit supports standardized LC duplex connectors for multimode OM4 links, enabling high-speed data transmission and organized rack mounting. Its compact form factor simplifies integration into existing patch panels and cabling infrastructure while maintaining fiber management best practices.

Advantages

The module offers six duplex LC ports in a space-efficient design that reduces rack space usage and streamlines fiber termination. Using OM4 multimode fiber support ensures improved bandwidth and extended reach for common enterprise and data center applications. The standardized LC interfaces provide broad compatibility with transceivers and patch cords, while the modular construction allows straightforward installation and replacement without modifying adjacent components.

Suitable for

• Data center backbone and horizontal distribution
• Telecom and server room fiber patching
• High-density rack installations requiring compact multimode connections
• Fiber consolidation points and cross-connect panels
• Environments using LC duplex multimode patch cords and transceivers

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Port count: 6 duplex ports (12 fiber channels)
• Mounting: modular patch panel module for standard rack panels
• Compatibility: designed for multimode LC patch cords and standard duplex transceivers
• Form factor: compact, space-saving module

How to use

Install the module into a compatible MetzConnect or standard modular patch panel slot according to the rack panel manufacturer’s instructions. Route and secure multimode LC duplex patch cords to the module ports, taking care to maintain proper bend radius and avoid excessive cable tension. Label ports as required for your cabling scheme, then verify connections with appropriate fiber test equipment. For moves, adds or changes, disconnect and reconnect individual LC duplex patch cords without disturbing adjacent modules.

Usage recommendations

Handle multimode fiber ends with appropriate cleaning tools to prevent insertion loss. Maintain minimum bend radii and avoid sharp kinks in OM4 patch cords. Use color-coded or labeled patch cords to simplify identification and perform insertion loss and continuity tests after installation to confirm link performance.
