Patch panel 1U VALUE 21.99.0651 — steel, black, 1U, width 480 mm, depth 243 mm, LC/SC fiber connectors

VALUE 21.99.0651 is a 1U rack-mount patch panel designed for organized termination and distribution of fiber optic links in standard 19-inch racks. Constructed from steel with a black finish, the unit provides a compact 44 mm height and 243 mm depth while allowing mounting in cabinets and racks with a 480 mm panel width. The panel accepts common LC and SC fiber connectors and is suitable for routing, labeling and protecting fiber terminations in data centers, telecom rooms and network closets.

Advantages

The steel construction provides mechanical stability and grounding potential, while the black powder-coated finish resists corrosion and wear. The 1U form factor saves rack space and integrates into standard 19-inch mounting systems. Support for both LC and SC connector types enables use with a variety of transceivers and patch cords. The 243 mm depth allows for neat cable routing and strain relief inside the cabinet without excessive intrusion into rack depth.

Suitable for

• Fiber optic patching and cross-connect in data centers
• Telecommunications closets and MDF/IDF racks
• Splitting multicore fiber cables to single-core connections
• Laboratory setups and test benches requiring compact fiber termination

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack using the front mounting holes and appropriate rack screws. Route incoming multicore fiber cables to the rear or side entry points and break out individual fibers to LC or SC adapters installed in the panel. Use appropriate fiber management accessories and strain-relief clamps to secure cables and avoid bending below minimum bend radius. Label each port according to your network documentation to simplify maintenance and future changes.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, terminate fibers using qualified connectors and test each link with optical test equipment after installation. Maintain a clear bend radius and use cable ties or management rings to prevent compression of fiber bundles. If using mixed connector types in one rack, plan adapter placement to minimize patch cord stress and allow easy access for swaps and testing.
