Fiber panel ACT FA2097 48 ports unloaded

The ACT Fiber panel FA2097 48 ports unloaded is a rack-mountable fiber patch panel designed to organize and terminate fiber optic connections. Finished in black, the panel provides a tidy front panel for fiber adapters and cables and supports flexible adapter and cassette configurations since it is delivered without preloaded connectors. The design is intended for structured cabling environments such as server rooms and network racks where neat cable routing and easy access to fiber terminations are required.

Advantages

The unloaded configuration allows technicians to fit the panel with compatible adapters or cassettes according to specific network standards and fiber types. The black finish gives a uniform appearance in rack installations while the 48-port density optimizes space in 19-inch rack environments. The panel supports organized cable management at the network edge and simplifies moves, adds, and changes by centralizing fiber terminations in a single, accessible location.

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the panel into a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate rack screws and cage nuts. Install desired fiber adapters or cassettes into the unloaded port openings according to the adapter orientation and locking method. Route incoming and outgoing fiber cables to the rear or side cable entry points, secure fibers with recommended bend radii, and perform connector terminations or patching as required. Label ports to match your cabling plan for straightforward identification and maintenance.

Recommendations

Handle fiber connectors and adapters with dust caps until installation to avoid contamination. Maintain specified bend radius for fiber cables and secure patch cords to prevent strain on terminations. Use compatible adapters and cassettes to ensure correct fiber alignment and performance.
