Typical Fiber Patch Panel Types On The Market

With the Internet of Things on the rise, more and more electric devices such as building automation controls, LED lights are becoming IP enabled and linking to the cabling infrastructure. There may be scenarios where linked data cables are not seen everywhere when connecting all the devices. Instead, a mass of patch cables are terminated in the telecommunication rooms. Technicians choose different fiber optic patch panel types to terminate the data cables and provide access to the cable’s individual fibers for cross-connection. So what are the typical fiber patch panel types on the market? This article will help you find something.

Benefits of Using Fiber Patch Panel

Fiber patch panels provide a convenient way to rearrange data cable connections and circuits. Using fiber patch panels, network technicians can easily connect cable fibers via cross connection, test the patch panel, and connect it to lightwave equipment. These patch panels are also used as a link demarcation point and in labeling the cable’s individual fibers. All in all, using fiber patch panel can achieve cable management including cable identification, and cable pulling.

Advice On Choosing Suitable Fiber Patch Panel Type

Choosing a suitable fiber patch panel type is the wise practice. Port density, rack size and space should be considered when buying fiber patch panel. Both rack mount and wall mount patch panel are the effective measures for cable management. If there is no enough space in network place and not too many fiber cables around, the wall mount fiber patch panel is a better choice. Otherwise, you will need a rack on which you can place your cable panel.

FS.COM offers different fiber patch panel types with super quality to help customers optimize the telecommunication project. Hope we are the priority selection when you purchase networking equipment.
