The Excel range of LC patch panels are sliding drawer "tray style"housings suitable for either direct termination or splicing of up to 24 fibre using SC simplex or 48 when using LC duplex connections in a 1U space. Each panel is manufactured from a mix of 1 mm thick steel with a powder coated finish and a high-density Polycarbonate sliding tray, offering a lightweight, strong durable unit. To the front of the patch panel the specified number of duplex/quad adaptors are loaded from left to right. Eachpanel utilises colour coded adaptors, beige, aqua and violet for multimode, blue for single mode and green for SM/APC. Each simplex/duplex adaptor accommodates 1 to 2 terminated fibres. This design delivers lower emissions and less reliance on mineralextraction, while achieving a 36% decrease in embedded carbon compared with the metal version. The lighter construction also minimises floor loading during installation and decreases the overall cabinet weight, improving handling and installation efficiency. Additional features include easier one-person installation, integrated knockouts, and rear entry points on both the left and right sides for improved cable access and flexibility. Note that this panel only accepts flanged and flangeless SC/LC adaptors and can be assembled to order using a combination of adaptors, pigtails and splice cassettes - call to enquire. - Multiple cable entry to rear - 1U rack space design - Optional patchcord management - Special configurations made to order - 25 year system warranty - CIBSE TM65 Embodied Carbon: 19.983 kg CO2e
