Patch panel EFB Elektronik BA71901.12OM4 – 12 portas LC, OM4, cinzento, 483×44,5×244 mm

Patch panel EFB Elektronik BA71901.12OM4 is a rack-mount fibre optic panel with 12 LC duplex ports prepared for OM4 multimode fibre. Finished in grey and built to fit a standard 19-inch rack, the unit provides a compact and organised termination point for multimode fibre cabling in server rooms, data centres and telecommunications cabinets. Its dimensions of 483 × 44.5 × 244 mm allow installation in a single rack unit while offering front-access connections for easy patching and orderly cable routing.

Advantages

The panel supports OM4 multimode fibre, ensuring compatibility with higher-bandwidth multimode links and optimized performance for short- to medium-range data transmission. Its 12 LC ports provide high-density connections in a space-saving layout, reducing the required rack space compared with single-fibre connectors. The grey finish and robust chassis offer protection for adapters and cables while helping maintain a consistent professional appearance in equipment racks. Front-access ports simplify maintenance and reduce the need to handle fibres at the back of the cabinet.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centres requiring organized multimode fibre termination
• Telecommunications cabinets and equipment racks with 19-inch mounting
• Structured cabling installations for LANs, campus networks and enterprise environments
• Patch management where compact, front-access LC connections are needed

Key specifications

• Port count: 12 LC duplex ports (24 fibres)
• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Form factor: 1U rack-mount panel for 19-inch racks

• External dimensions: 483 × 44.5 × 244 mm

How to use

Install the patch panel in a standard 19-inch rack using the front mounting holes; ensure the panel is secured to prevent movement. Route fibre trunk or backbone cables to the rear of the unit and terminate them on the appropriate adapters or pigtails that match OM4 multimode connectors. Use LC patch cords to connect equipment or switches to the front-mounted LC adapters. Label each port according to your rack diagram or cabling plan to simplify future maintenance and minimize handling during reconfiguration.

Recommendations

Handle multimode fibres with appropriate ESD precautions and follow standard fibre-cleaning procedures before making connections. Use dust caps when ports are unused to protect adapters. Maintain bend radius for OM4 fibre to avoid performance degradation and refer to structured cabling standards for best practice in rack layout and cable management.
