Patch panel 3U Triton METZ CONNECT 15024A10S-E, rack mount, grey

Triton METZ CONNECT 15024A10S-E is a 3U rack-mount patch panel in a grey finish designed for installation in standard server and network racks. It provides a structured, rack-mounted connection point for fiber cabling and terminations, combining a compact housing with flexible cable entry and splice management features. The unit supports installation on top hat (TH35) rails and is suitable for data closets, server rooms and telecom cabinets where organized cable routing and secure splice protection are required.

Advantages

The patch panel features a robust grey housing with a single-screw cover fastening for quick access and maintenance. It offers flexible cable feed options from top or bottom, straight or inclined, and accepts one or two M20 cable glands for secure cable entry. The design includes a fiber reservoir and optional splice tray with crimp splice holder for up to 12 splices, with the possibility to add two shrink splice holders. A very sturdy top hat rail holder ensures secure fastening to TH35 rails and supports various mounting versions on the rail. Custom-labeled identification strips simplify port identification and documentation.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted fiber distribution in data closets and server rooms
• Telecom cabinets and communication enclosures requiring organized splice management
• Environments using pre-terminated fiber cables with need for secure entry and strain relief

How to use

Mount the panel onto a TH35 top hat rail using the supplied sturdy holder and position it at the required height within the rack. Route fiber or pre-terminated cables into the housing through the chosen top or bottom entry, install the M20 cable gland with strain relief where required, and secure cables. If splice management is needed, install the optional splice tray and place crimp splices into the holder; shrink splice holders can be added as necessary. Use the integrated fiber reservoir to arrange excess fiber and avoid tight bends. Close the housing cover and fasten with the single screw to complete installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, keep bend radii within manufacturer recommendations when arranging fibers in the reservoir, secure strain relief on incoming cables, and label ports using the custom-labeled identification strips. When working with splices, follow proper fiber splice and protection procedures and verify connections after installation.
