The 19-inch patch panel 150459E224-E from Btr Blumberger is a fixed-mountable network component for connecting fiber optic cables in data communication applications. It is designed as a 1 U module and serves structured cabling in data centers, server rooms, or other IT infrastructures. The unit is equipped with 24 SC-D connectors arranged diagonally to ensure optimal accessibility and space-saving. Additionally, 48 SC pigtails OS2 are integrated, already installed and terminated in standard splice trays with crimp splice holders. The pigtails have been visually inspected and inserted into the connectors to ensure a reliable and error-free connection.

Fiber network connection
This patch panel serves as a central interface for fiber optic cables in the singlemode range (OS2). The use of SC-D connectors enables a secure and precise connection between cables and connected devices. The diagonal arrangement of connectors reduces cable bend radii and minimizes mechanical stress, thereby increasing the service life of the connections. The integrated SC pigtails OS2 are designed for use in high-speed networks and support data transmission over long distances with low attenuation losses.

Color coding and labeling
Color coding follows the IEC 60304 standard, enabling uniform and standardized identification of cables and connections. This simplifies maintenance and identification of individual connections during operation. The front plate features a labeling area for individual identification of ports. The front plate is powder-coated in gray RAL 7035, providing a robust and durable surface that is also resistant in industrial environments.

Access and mounting
The patch panel cover can be opened without tools, simplifying maintenance and inspection of internal components. The rear cable entry offers multiple options: 6x M20, 2x M25, and 2x VIK mounting cutouts are available. These versatile entry options allow flexible and adaptable installation for different cable diameters and installation scenarios. The construction is designed for fixed mounting in 19-inch racks, ensuring stable and secure placement within the rack.

Compatibility and accessories
The patch panel is compatible with accessory components suitable for expansion or maintenance. These include the splice tray for 12 splices, unpopulated (item 1509010000-E), the cover for the splice tray (item 15090200-E), and the splice tray with 1 crimp splice holder (item 1509010001-E). These components can be used for maintenance or during cabling expansion to support existing infrastructure.

Operational benefits
Pre-terminated installation with pigtails and splice trays reduces installation time and minimizes error risk. The tool-free cover opening and flexible cable entry simplify maintenance and adjustments during operation. The use of standard splice trays with crimp splice holders ensures orderly and secure storage of splice connections, increasing the overall reliability of the cabling. The powder-coated front plate in RAL 7035 offers high mechanical and chemical resistance, extending the service life of the patch panel in demanding environments.
