Legrand 32162 1U Fiber Optic Patch Panel, Sliding Drawer, 24 LC Duplex, 48F MM

This panel removes the headache of cramped fiber connections. When cables are packed tightly, you risk accidental bends, high insertion loss, and long downtimes. The sliding drawer design opens fully, giving you clear access to each LC-Duplex port, so you can patch, test, or replace fibers in seconds. By keeping 24 duplex modules and 48 multimode fibers organized, the panel protects performance and saves you valuable time during upgrades or repairs.

Benefits

• Quick access - the drawer slides out, letting you work on any port without removing the whole panel.
• Reduced signal loss - clean, strain-free routing preserves the quality of OM4 multimode fibers.
• Space efficient - only 1U high, it fits into standard 19-inch racks while holding 48 fibers.
• Future proof - 24 LC duplex modules let you expand or re-configure as your network grows.
• Easy maintenance - clear labeling space and simple tool-free insertion speed up troubleshooting.

Usages
