METZ CONNECT Fiber Optic Splice Patch Panel 6xLC-D OM5 1U 19 inch Rack Mount 1504587M06-F

Managing fiber optic splices in a 19-inch rack often means choosing between fragile open trays and bulky enclosures. The METZ CONNECT splice patch panel 6xLC-D OM5 solves this by combining six LC duplex adapters with an integrated splice cassette in a single 1U steel housing. It is built for direct splicing of OM5 multimode cables in data centers and LAN backbones where lime green OM5 is specified for short-wave WDM.

Who is it for

Network installers and data center technicians who need a rack-mountable splice point for OM5 multimode fiber. The panel suits projects where cables are terminated on-site by splicing pigtails, and where rack space is limited but port density must remain manageable.

Main features

• 6 LC duplex adapters (12 fibers) with insertion loss below 0.2 dB and return loss above 35 dB
• Integrated splice cassette holds up to 12 crimp or heat shrink splice protectors
• Steel sheet housing in light grey RAL 7035, 1U height for 19-inch racks

Tips

Pair with OM5 pigtails and splice protectors that fit the cassette. For high-density racks, multiple panels can be installed side by side; ensure rear cable management allows for bend radius of the incoming cables.
