METZ CONNECT VIK 6xSC-D OS2 Fiber Optic Patch Panel, 1U Rack Mount, 12 Fibers, Single-mode, Light Grey 150450E206-F

Engineered for high-density fiber management, this METZ CONNECT VIK patch panel delivers 12 OS2 single-mode fibers in a compact 1U rack-mount footprint. With 6 SC duplex ports and a pre-installed splice cassette, it ensures low insertion loss and reliable performance in demanding network environments.

Overview

The VIK 6xSC-D OS2 patch panel is a 19-inch rack-mountable solution designed for structured cabling in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications rooms. It accommodates up to 12 fibers (6 SC duplex ports) and features a robust steel housing with a light grey powder-coated finish (RAL 7035). The panel includes a splice cassette with holders for crimp and heat shrink splice protection, and 2-meter pigtails with 900 µm buffer diameter. Cable entry is via rear knockouts (M20/M25/M32), allowing flexible installation. The panel complies with IEC 61753-1 Category U and is RoHS/REACH compliant.
