Tracom 19-inch Fixed Fiber Optic Patch Panel, 24-Port SC Simplex or LC Duplex, Unloaded

The Tracom 19-inch fixed fiber optic patch panel is a professional-grade solution designed for the organized termination and management of fiber optic cables within standard server racks. This 24-port unit provides a stable and secure environment for fiber connections, ensuring that network infrastructure remains tidy and protected in demanding data center or telecommunication environments. The panel is supplied as an unloaded chassis, offering installers the flexibility to populate it with specific SC simplex or LC duplex adapters according to the unique requirements of their network architecture.

Advantages

This patch panel excels in environments where cable density and organization are critical. By providing a centralized termination point, it significantly reduces the risk of cable damage and simplifies maintenance tasks. The fixed design ensures a robust mounting position within the rack, while the modular nature of the unloaded chassis allows for cost-effective scaling, as users only need to install the specific adapters required for their current project. Its compatibility with standard 19-inch rack systems makes it a versatile choice for various professional networking setups.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms
• Telecommunication network distribution
• Enterprise fiber optic cabling systems
• Local area network (LAN) management

When it may not be suitable

This unit is not suitable for high-density environments requiring sliding trays for frequent access to the rear of the connectors, as this is a fixed-mount panel. Additionally, it is not intended for outdoor use or environments exposed to extreme moisture or dust without a protective enclosure.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch rack-mount
• Capacity: 24 ports
• Adapter compatibility: SC simplex or LC duplex
• Configuration: Unloaded (no cassettes or adapters included)
• Mounting type: Fixed

How to use

To install the patch panel, secure the chassis to the 19-inch rack rails using standard mounting screws. Once the panel is fixed in place, install your chosen SC simplex or LC duplex adapters into the port openings. Route the fiber optic cables through the rack management system to the rear of the panel, ensuring that the minimum bend radius is maintained. Connect the fiber strands to the adapters and secure the incoming patch cords to the front, labeling each port clearly for future maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your rack has 1U of available space
• Verify that you have the necessary SC or LC adapters on hand
• Confirm the type of fiber optic cabling used in your infrastructure
• Check if your installation requires a sliding tray for easier access

Usage recommendations

Always clean fiber optic connectors with appropriate cleaning tools before insertion to ensure optimal signal performance and prevent contamination of the network interface.
