Fiber optic patch panel Rutenbeck 2280300240 LC Duplex MM 24 ports 1U (48.3 cm)

Rutenbeck 2280300240 is a 1U fiber optic patch panel providing 24 LC Duplex multimode ports in a compact front-access housing designed for 48.3 cm (19") rack installations. The panel is intended for organized fiber termination and cross-connects, delivering a clean, space-efficient solution for fiber distribution in data centers, telecom rooms and server cabinets. Its front-facing ports allow easy connection and maintenance without the need to access the rear of the rack.

Advantages

The design supports high-density multimode connections in a single rack unit, minimizing rack space usage while keeping patching points accessible. Front-access LC Duplex ports simplify cabling and reduce handling time during maintenance. The panel contributes to orderly cable management and helps protect fiber terminations, which can reduce the risk of accidental disconnection and signal degradation. The unit is compatible with standard 19" rack equipment and is suitable for structured cabling environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the panel into a standard 19" rack occupying one rack unit. Route incoming multimode fiber cables to the rear of the panel and terminate them to appropriate internal adapters or pigtails according to your cabling scheme. Use LC Duplex patch cords to connect active equipment to the front ports of the panel. Label ports as required for identification and document connections in your network inventory to facilitate maintenance and troubleshooting.

Recommendations

During installation and maintenance, follow standard fiber handling practices: avoid tight bends, use appropriate bend radius protection, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use, and ensure secure fastening of the panel to the rack. For multimode links, verify connector cleanliness and perform insertion loss or optical power checks as part of acceptance testing.
