Patch Panel Accessory Metz Connect 130861-2402KE Wall Mounting Aluminium Steel Zinc

The METZ CONNECT 130861-2402KE wall mounting accessory is a compact support frame designed for mounting patch panels and small networking modules on walls or vertical surfaces. Manufactured from aluminium, steel and zinc, the unit provides a stable and corrosion-resistant mounting solution. The accessory is halogen-free and conforms to REACH and RoHS requirements, offering material safety and regulatory compliance for professional network installations. Its external dimensions are approximately 240.5 mm width, 110 mm depth and 75.6 mm height, suitable for space-constrained installations.

Advantages

This wall mount accessory combines lightweight aluminium with robust steel elements and zinc coatings to balance strength and corrosion protection without adding excessive weight. The compact footprint and standardized width make it compatible with common patch panel formats and simplify alignment during installation. Being halogen-free and compliant with REACH and RoHS reduces environmental and health concerns during use and disposal.

Suitable for

• Mounting single or small patch panels on walls in comms rooms or office spaces
• Securing network modules or small distribution units where rack space is not available
• Retrofit installations in server rooms, telecom cupboards, or utility areas

How to use

Mark the desired mounting location on a stable vertical surface and ensure appropriate clearance for cables and connectors. Use suitable fasteners for the wall material (anchors, screws) and secure the accessory in the correct orientation. Attach the patch panel or module to the mounting accessory using the panel’s mounting holes and compatible screws. Route and secure cabling to avoid strain on connectors and verify the assembly is level and firmly fixed before connecting active equipment.

Recommendations

Choose fasteners rated for the wall substrate and expected load. Maintain adequate ventilation and service access around mounted equipment. Avoid direct exposure to corrosive environments; if installed in harsh conditions, inspect mounting points periodically for signs of corrosion or loosening.
