Patch panel accessory Rittal 7463.200 – steel, white finish

Rittal 7463.200 is a steel patch panel accessory with a white finish designed for compact fibre/structured cabling and small distribution enclosures. It accepts up to 12 ports and is intended to mount and protect patch panels and couplings for common fibre connector types, providing a robust, space-efficient solution for data cabinets and network infrastructure installations.

Advantages

The steel construction and white finish deliver mechanical strength and a clean, uniform appearance suitable for professional network environments. With support for 12 ports and compatibility with ST, SC, E-2000 and E-2000 duplex couplings, the accessory enables organized routing and secure mounting of fibre optic connections. Its compact format is intended to fit inside small distribution enclosures and data cabinets where space and durability are important.

Suitable for

• Small fibre optic distribution enclosures and mini distribution frames
• Data cabinets and racks with limited mounting depth
• Installations using ST, SC, E-2000 and E-2000 duplex fibre couplings
• Telecommunication and structured cabling equipment rooms

When it may not be suitable

This accessory is designed specifically for small distribution enclosures and may not be appropriate for large-scale patch panel arrays that require higher port density or modular expansion. It is a passive mounting accessory and does not include active components, fibre adapters, or cable management clips — those items must be provided separately if required.

Key specifications

• Material: steel with white finish
• Number of ports: 12
• Compatible connector types: ST, SC, E-2000, E-2000 duplex
• Application: fibre/structured cabling and small distribution enclosures

How to use

Install the accessory inside the designated small distribution enclosure or rack location using appropriate mounting hardware. Fit fibre couplings or adapter panels into the available port positions, route patch cords to the ports, and secure cables to prevent strain on terminations. Verify compatibility of connector types before insertion and ensure enclosures are closed to protect connections from dust and mechanical damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 12-port capacity matches your required port count and future expansion needs
• Confirm physical compatibility with your enclosure or data cabinet mounting points and depth
• Check that the supported connector types (ST, SC, E-2000, E-2000 duplex) match your installed fibre connectors
• Plan for any additional accessories needed such as fibre adapters, patch cords, or cable management

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, mount the panel in a clean environment, route fibres with minimal bending radius, and use appropriate adapters for the listed connector types. Combine with compatible cable management to maintain order and reduce strain on connections.
