Patch panel MetzConnect 24x SC-D OS2 model 150459E224-E — 24 ports, singlemode OS2

MetzConnect 24x SC-D OS2 model 150459E224-E is a rack-mounted fiber patch panel that provides 24 SC-D ports for singlemode OS2 fiber connections. Designed for use in 19" racks, the panel supports organized fiber distribution in data centers, server rooms and telecommunications closets. The unit accepts connectorised links or spliced terminations and offers a compact, high-density solution for structured fiber cabling and distribution.

Advantages

The panel delivers 24 SC-D ports in a single 19" mounting unit to maximize port density while maintaining clear cable routing. Its singlemode OS2 compatibility ensures low attenuation over long-distance links. The design supports both connectorised and fusion-spliced terminations, simplifying installation choices and future reconfiguration. Built for rack integration, the panel helps centralize fiber terminations and provides a neat, serviceable distribution point.

Suitable for

• Data center fiber distribution and patching
• Server room backbone and rack-to-rack links
• Telecommunications closets and MDF/IDF cabinets
• Fiber splicing panels and connectorised patching

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC-D duplex format (24 ports)
• Fiber type: singlemode OS2
• Rack compatibility: 19" mounting
• Form factor: 1U/standard rack height (compact 24-port layout)
• Termination options: supports connectorised cables and fusion splicing
• Cable management: front-facing ports with space for routing and labeling

How to use

Install the patch panel into a standard 19" rack using the supplied mounting points and secure with appropriate rack screws. Route incoming singlemode OS2 fiber cables to the rear of the panel and prepare ends for either connectorised termination or fusion splicing. For spliced installations, secure pigtails and protect splice joints with splice trays or heat-shrink protection; for connectorised links, plug SC-D connectors into the front ports. Label ports clearly to match documentation and use cable management features to maintain bend radius and orderly routing.

Usage recommendations

Maintain singlemode OS2 fiber bend radius guidelines during installation and use protective splice trays where splicing is performed. Use appropriate dust caps on unused SC-D ports to prevent contamination. Keep port labeling and documentation current to simplify moves, adds and changes.
