Cable Matters 1U 48 Fibers LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Fiber Patch Panel

1U rack-mount patch panel for 48 single-mode fibers

The Cable Matters 1U patch panel adds 48 LC-to-LC OS2 single-mode connectors to a standard 19-inch server rack. It occupies a single rack unit and is built from 1.5mm SPCC steel with a rear support bar for stability. The unit arrives with connectors pre-installed so no separate adapter purchase is required. It is designed for network administrators expanding fiber infrastructure in data centres or wiring closets.

48 LC ports supporting 10Gbps OS2 links

The panel provides 48 individual LC ports for duplex single-mode patch cables, enabling up to 10Gbps transmission per link. It handles campus backbones, building-to-building runs and long-haul connections where OS2 fibre is specified. The density suits medium-scale deployments; larger core counts would require additional rack units or higher-density cassettes. Installations needing multimode OM3 or OM4 connectivity should select a different panel variant.

Passive steel chassis with no active cooling

The all-metal enclosure relies on natural convection and rack airflow, producing no fan noise and drawing no power. Its 1.7-inch height fits tightly in dense racks without blocking adjacent equipment ventilation. The rear support bar distributes cable weight to reduce stress on front connectors during moves or vibration. No electrical supply or thermal management planning is needed for this passive component.
