Patch panel EFB Elektronik B71901L48OM4 1U LC OM4 gri

The EFB Elektronik B71901L48OM4 1U LC OM4 Grey patch panel is a rack-mounted fibre management unit designed for organized LC duplex connections in data centres and network cabinets. Constructed primarily from durable plastic, the panel occupies 1U of rack space and supports OM4 multimode fibre to facilitate high-speed, short-reach transmission. Its compact dimensions match standard 19-inch racks and it provides a neat front-facing interface for up to 24 LC duplex ports (48 fibres) with a grey finish for consistent equipment grouping.

Advantages

This patch panel offers a space-efficient 1U design with straightforward front access to LC OM4 connections, enabling tidy cable routing and simplified maintenance. The plastic housing reduces weight while maintaining sufficient mechanical protection for fibre connectors and adapters. Compatibility with OM4 multimode fibre supports higher bandwidth and improved performance for short-distance links typically found in enterprise and campus networks.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms requiring compact fibre termination panels
• Telecommunications rooms with OM4 multimode backbone or horizontal cabling
• Campus or enterprise networks that need organized front-panel LC access
• Environments where reduced rack weight and corrosion resistance are desired

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19-inch rack occupying a single U of space. Install LC adapters or pre-terminated pigtails into the front ports, then route multimode fibre cables through the rear cable entry, taking care to maintain appropriate bend radii. Secure cables with strain relief and use cable management accessories in the rack to avoid excessive tension. Label ports as required for easy identification and perform standard end-face inspection and cleaning before connection to ensure optimal signal transmission.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use OM4-rated patch cords and maintain proper bend radii; inspect and clean LC connectors regularly and avoid exposing the panel to mechanical impacts or excessive heat.
