Fiber optic patch panel Rutenbeck 2280301240 LC Duplex MM 24 ports 1U, black RAL 9005

Rack-mount fiber optic patch panel Rutenbeck 2280301240 LC Duplex MM 24 ports 1U in black RAL 9005 provides a compact, professional solution for terminating and distributing multimode fiber connections in data centers, telecom rooms and structured LAN environments. The panel features 24 LC duplex front-access ports in a 1U housing that saves rack space while keeping fiber connections accessible for patching and maintenance. Built for organized cable routing and stable connector alignment, the unit supports orderly labeling and mounting within standard 19-inch racks.

Advantages

This 1U fiber patch panel delivers a high port density with front-facing LC duplex interfaces that simplify everyday patching tasks. The black RAL 9005 finish offers a consistent appearance for professional installations, while the robust metal housing protects internal adapters and incoming fiber. The design reduces signal handling risk by keeping connectors fixed in secure adapters and provides easy access for cable management and labeling.

How to use

Mount the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack at the chosen location and secure with appropriate rack screws. Route incoming fiber cables to the rear entry, secure them using strain-relief brackets or cable ties, and maintain recommended bend radii. Terminate fibers into the panel adapters and connect patch cords to the front LC duplex ports for cross-connection or patching to active equipment. Label ports according to site documentation to ensure fast identification during changes and maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use multimode fiber patch cords and transceivers matched to your existing fiber type and bandwidth requirements. Keep service loops and bend-radius protectors in place, avoid sharp bends near the panel, and follow standard fiber handling procedures including cleaning connectors before mating. Regularly verify labeling and document changes to maintain an organized rack layout.
