Patch panel in fibra ottica LANBERG FOP1-24ST-FCB 1U 24xST / 24xFC montaggio a rack nero

LANBERG FOP1-24ST-FCB is a 1U rack-mounted fiber patch panel that provides 24 ST and 24 FC ports for organizing fiber terminations in 19" racks. It supports management of multimode and singlemode connections, secures fiber adapters and connectors, and helps simplify cross-connections in data centers, telecom closets and network cabinets. The unit is finished in black and is designed for standard 19-inch rack installation.

Advantages

The patch panel combines both ST and FC connector support in a single 1U module, allowing mixed-use installations or staged migrations. Its compact 1U form factor saves rack space while providing up to 24 ports of each connector type. The black finish and standard mounting holes allow straightforward integration into existing rack systems, and the panel helps keep fiber terminations organized and protected.

Suitable for

• Data center fiber cross-connects and patching
• Telecom closets and central office equipment racks
• Network cabinets in server rooms and wiring closets
• Environments requiring both ST and FC connector types

When it may not be suitable

This panel is intended for use in 19" racks and requires rack space of 1U; it is not suitable for applications that need a different rack size or zero-U mounting. It includes ST and FC ports only, so networks that require other connector types (for example LC or SC) will need adapters or a different panel.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable module for 19" racks
• Ports: 24 ST ports and 24 FC ports for fiber terminations
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 2.48 kg

How to use

Mount the panel in a standard 19" rack using the front mounting holes and appropriate screws. Install fiber adapters into the front openings and route fiber cables through the rack, securing them with cable management accessories as required. Terminate fiber connectors to the corresponding ST and FC ports, label connections for easy identification, and ensure bend radius protection for incoming and outgoing fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm 19" rack compatibility and available 1U of rack space
• Verify whether ST and FC connector types match your fiber cabling and equipment
• Plan for cable management and strain relief to protect fiber terminations

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use appropriate adapters and maintain minimum bend radius for fibers. Label each port clearly and secure cables with trays or ties to prevent strain on terminations. Consider dust caps for unused ports to protect connectors.
