Patch panel MetzConnect 150240000010E s SC konektory, šedý, 6x SC-Duplex

MetzConnect 150240000010E is a compact fibre optic patch panel in grey designed for SC duplex connections. The unit is intended for TH35 rail mounting and provides organized routing and protection for optical fibres, splice trays and splice holders. It accepts up to six SC‑Duplex adapters and includes a fibre reservoir, removable front plate and a splice tray with crimp splice holders for up to 12 splices. Cable entry can be from the top or bottom, straight or inclined, and the panel can be fed with preassembled cables. One M20 cable gland with strain relief is supplied and the housing cover is secured with a single captive screw.

Advantages

The MetzConnect panel offers a narrow 34 mm (2HP) width and compact dimensions (125 mm height, 132.5 mm depth from rail without adapters) for space-efficient rack or distribution cabinet installations. It supports multiple mounting versions on TH35 rail, removable front plate for easy access to adapters and splice holders, and custom-labeled identification strips for clear port marking. Empty adapter recesses can be closed using special blank covers, and the enclosure includes a fibre reservoir to protect bend radius and allow orderly cable management.

Suitable for

• Telecom and LAN fibre backbone installations requiring SC‑Duplex connectivity
• Data centre and communications cabinets with TH35 rail infrastructure
• Environments where preassembled cables or field splicing with crimp splice holders are used

When it may not be suitable

This panel is unequipped by default and requires appropriate SC‑Duplex adapters to be installed for active use; adapters and specific connector types are ordered separately. If you plan to use preassembled cables with ST plugs, the standard equipped version is not suitable — the unequipped variant and ST‑D adapters (accessory) are required, and ST plugs should be inserted into adapters before mounting for space reasons.

Key specifications

• Connector type supported: SC‑Duplex (up to 6 adapters)
• Splice capacity: splice tray with crimp splice holder for up to 12 splices
• Mounting: TH35 rail compatible, various mounting versions
• Dimensions: width 34 mm (2HP), height 125 mm, depth 132.5 mm (from rail, without adapters)
• Cable entry: top or bottom, straight or inclined; supports preassembled cable feed
• Cable gland: one M20 gland with strain relief included; up to 2 M20 glands possible
• Housing: removable front plate; housing cover secured by one captive screw
• Accessories: custom-labeled identification strips; blank covers available to close unused adapter recesses

How to use

Mount the patch panel on a TH35 rail in the distribution cabinet or enclosure and fit the required number of SC‑Duplex adapters into the front plate. Route fibres into the housing via the M20 cable gland(s) from top or bottom, secure the cables with the supplied strain relief, and place excess fibre into the integrated reservoir to maintain proper bend radius. Use the splice tray with crimp splice holders to terminate field splices (up to 12) and close the removable front plate to protect adapters and splices. For preassembled cables with ST plugs, use the unequipped version and install ST‑D adapters as accessories, inserting the ST plugs into adapters before mounting them in the housing.

What to consider before purchase

• Adapters are not included — select SC‑Duplex adapters or appropriate adapter type separately
• Decide between equipped variants (with crimp or shrink splice holder) or unequipped version for preassembled ST cables
• Confirm cabinet or rail space: panel width is 34 mm (2HP) and depth is 132.5 mm from rail without adapters

Recommendations

When installing, always protect fibre bend radius by using the integrated reservoir and avoid over‑tightening the M20 gland. Label ports using the supplied identification strips for clear management and, when working with preassembled connectors, insert plugs into adapters before fitting adapters to the housing to ensure adequate space.
