1U Slide-Out Fiber Distribution Patch Panel, 3 LGX Slots, Up to 72 Splices (RMFP-020)

A fiber entrance that gets spliced and patched in the same rack unit needs an enclosure the technician can open without unracking it, and this 1U slide-out fiber distribution panel is built that way: the master panel slides forward on its tray with an integrated tray stop, so it comes out as far as it should and no farther, and a removable two-piece top with swing door latches opens the whole enclosure from above once the tray is out. The front takes three LGX adapter panels, and the tray stores splice trays for up to 72 fusion splices with two 36-fiber trays, so a 72-fiber feeder can be spliced to pigtails and patched to LC, SC, or whatever the adapter panels carry, all inside one 16 gauge steel box 1.75 in tall, 17 in wide, and 14 in deep. Universal 19 in rack mounting hardware is supplied. The adapter panels and the splice trays are sold separately, which lets the panel be loaded for the connector and fiber count the job needs, and it can be ordered fully terminated with cabling or pigtails. For the same 1U with three 24-fiber trays included, the RMFP-015; for a 2U with six LGX slots, the RMFP-019.

What's in the Box

• 1U slide-out fiber distribution panel. 16 gauge steel, black, with removable two-piece top, swing door latches, and three LGX adapter panel slots.
• Universal 19 in rack mounting hardware. Cage nuts, rack screws, and hex nuts.
• Cable management. Hook-and-loop straps, zip ties, and two ground lugs.

Features

• Three LGX adapter panel slots. Loads with the LGX panels for the connector type and count the job needs, sold separately.
• Up to 72 splices. Slide-out tray designed to store splice trays; fits two 36-fiber splice trays, model FB25-6196STP36, sold separately.
• Slide-out master panel with tray stop. Pulls forward for installation and maintenance in the rack; the integrated stop keeps it from over-extending.
• Removable two-piece top and swing door latches. Top-down access to the trays and the adapter field with the panel racked.
• Universal 19 in mounting hardware supplied. Cage nuts, rack screws, and hex nuts for standard racks.
• Can be ordered terminated. Available fully terminated with cabling or pigtails on request.
• 16 gauge steel, black. 1.75 × 17 × 14 in.

Where It Fits

It suits data center and telecom room techs landing a 72-fiber trunk and splicing it to pigtails in one rack unit, structured cabling installers building a riser distribution point or a fiber entrance where the OSP cable gets spliced and patched in the same enclosure, campus and MDU builds bringing a feeder into a closet and breaking it out to LC or SC, enterprise and lab environments that want the splice trays reachable from the top without unracking the panel, anyone who wants to choose the splice tray rather than take the one the panel came with, and a rack that already has the LGX adapter panels, splice trays, pigtails, and fiber patch cords from the fiber collections to fill it. For a 1U with three 24-fiber splice trays included, the RMFP-015; for 144 fibers and six LGX slots in 2U, the RMFP-019; for a wall instead of a rack, the WMFP-006, WMFP-014, and WMFP-003 enclosures.

Good to Know

The adapter panels and the splice trays are not included, so order the three LGX panels for the connector type and the two FB25-6196STP36 36-fiber splice trays at the same time; 72 is the splice count with both trays loaded, and the patch count depends on the panels, with three LC quad panels giving 72 LC positions and SC or LC duplex panels giving fewer. Mount it on the rack rails with the supplied hardware and check that the tray slides freely to its stop before you load fiber, then support the cable behind the rack so the rear entry doesn't take the weight when the tray moves, and strain-relieve the trunk at the entry so the splices never carry tension. Use the two ground lugs to bond the panel, and the armor or strength member of an OSP cable, to the rack ground before the cable reaches the trays. Two 36-fiber trays and three LGX panels in 1.75 in is a full enclosure, so keep every buffer tube and pigtail within its bend radius, dress the slack with the hook-and-loop straps rather than the zip ties where the fiber is bare, and never cinch a tie tight on a buffer tube. The two-piece top comes off for the build; put it back and latch it when you're done, and keep caps on unused adapters, since an open port in a splice panel collects dust from every tray worked on above it. It's an indoor rack panel.
