Fiber Optic Panels & Patch Panels

Why BYXGD Patch Panels?

🔍Turn cable chaos into a clean network switchboard.

Eliminate cable clutter for 50+ devices. Patch panels centralize connections, allowing technicians to manage MAC operations (Moves, Adds, Changes) at the rack rather than distributed endpoints. Employees can maintain connectivity without frequent interruptions.

Data centers experience a lack of ports due to increased traffic; engineers can add additional capacity with an MPO Fiber Rack. This allows future growth without the hassle of removing existing wiring.

Factories are plagued by electrical interference, which can result in signal loss. Using Shielded Cat6a Panels helps block electrical interference, allowing machines to operate properly.

Three scenarios, three fixes:

• Office clutter? Use a Cat6 Wall Mount
• Port limitations? Use an MPO Fiber Rack
• Factory noise? Use Shielded Cat6a Panels

Find the best solution based on the specific challenge.

Ethernet Patch Panels: From Baseline to Future-Proof

🧰 Cat6 Panels — Blue/Black ports, enterprise standard

Designed for environments with 50–100 devices at 1Gbps, our 24-port Cat6 1U panels feature 50μ" gold-plated RJ45 contacts that provide excellent conductivity, with a rated life of over 750 insertion cycles, which exceeds the TIA/EIA standards for long-lasting, reliable connections. Network managers can reconfigure network connections without taking the network down, they can maintain day-to-day operations over a period of 10 years.

RJ45 to RJ45 connectors provide plug-and-play capability, and they range in price from approximately $40.00 to $70.00 per unit, providing adequate bandwidth for video conferencing and file sharing without lag.

As businesses continue to expand, larger organizations will continue to outpace their network infrastructure capabilities. To eliminate performance bottlenecks, organizations are increasingly adopting 2U 48-port Cat6a solutions for 10Gbps server backbones. The Cat6a panels are designed to pass Fluke Channel Testing when used with an approved cabling system, which will ensure zero packet loss at 10Gbps speeds. Network engineers will use this hardware to manage traffic flowing between multiple servers, which will allow the organization to expand in the future without requiring them to completely rewire their building.

Tech specs at a glance:

• Cat6 1U:A standard panel for 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) applications, with 24 ports. This is the best choice for most offices.
• Cat6a 2U:A panel designed for high-density environments and supporting 10Gbps. It has 48 ports and is recommended for server backbones.

There are two primary choices regarding the design of your network patch panel: either loaded or unloaded. If one port fails on a loaded panel, re-terminating or moving to a spare port is required. A blank modular design offers higher serviceability, allowing for individual port replacement in minutes without affecting adjacent links.

The blank modular design allows administrators to add the required ports as needed. Therefore, if there is one bad connection, it is just a matter of replacing that specific port; as a result, the costs are typically less than $40. A major advantage of the blank design is flexibility.

Keystone panels expand on this concept of modularity. Keystone modules can be installed as needed for different types of copper and fiber network connections. Additionally, Cat6 jack panel inserts fit very tightly into keystone modules. With a keystone configuration, different types of media can all be housed within the same 2U panel. Maintenance can be completed in minutes due to the ease of replacing faulty modules.

For busy IT departments, unshielded solutions are typically preferred for a clean appearance on their office racks. Shielded panels are typically more suited to factory environments due to the shielding requirements, while unshielded versions are considered the norm in the office environment. With an unshielded configuration, the installation process is faster due to the absence of the grounding requirements. Additionally, the ports will usually be in the standard blue and black colors. Daily connectivity checks are simplified.

Visionary networks secure their growth potential. 48-port panels are designed to provide the networking industry with the capability to support the "spike" associated with cloud applications. By maintaining supply, network operators sleep easy at night knowing they will have growth potential when needed. Explore all available options with respect to maintaining your pace with others.

Core Technical Matrix

Fiber Optic Panels: LC/SC to 40G/100G MPO

⚡ MPO Fiber — Ultra-dense, 40G/100G backbone

Standard networks typically utilize standard connectors. Daily office connections operate at either 1G or 10G over shorter distances, so installers often use an LC fiber patch panel or an SC fiber patch panel in 1U space. Signals move throughout floors, and connections remain stable under normal operating conditions.

When selecting a fiber patch panel with LC connectors for connecting a computer to a switch, the decision may be based on whether a single-mode or multimode connection works best for that particular distance. During upgrades, managers replace the cable used to connect to the switch with a new cable that meets their specifications and experience virtually no downtime.

As facilities continue to grow in size, so does the distance between connections; therefore, signal loss will occur more often on a long run. When it is necessary to connect a switch to a desktop using single-mode LC, the distance will be able to extend longer than if you were connecting using multimode.

Because of the need for high-volume, high-performance core data networks, the density of fiber patch panels is a major concern. Fiber patch panels using MPO connectors allow the connection of one MTP connector to replace the equivalent space of 12 LC connectors and reduce the overall bulk of cable by 80 percent.

Each of the MTP/LC cassettes manufactured in our facility is 100% Fluke Tested for both insertion loss and return loss. When the cassette is shipped to you, a serialized copy of the test report accompanies each unit to ensure the product meets the standard required by data center operations. The installation of MTP cassettes into 1U High-Density Enclosures is completed without any fusion work and can be completed in less than five minutes if installed correctly and efficiently, allowing you to resume operations as per the original schedule.

💡 LC/SC Fiber — The Familiar Standard

Access links: LC/SC Fiber Optic Patch Panel; 1G–10G Fiber Optic Patch Panels, 12 Port are suitable and ideal for smaller hubs.

Backbone Traffic: MPO/MTP Fiber Patch Panel; 40G–100G Fiber Patch Panels.

Front panels of MPO/MTPs are marked according to the colour code for ease of identification. Aqua or Violet denotes Multimode (OM3/OM4); yellow indicates Singlemode (OS2). It is uncommon for patch cords or connectors to connect incorrectly when an MPO is used in tight spaces or crowded environments.

With the increased demand for data centres, they are attempting to maximize their available space by using MPO Fiber Patch Panels, which are designed to allow for higher density than traditional racks (legacy rows). Future path options become available without the need to replace the panels when moving to 400G fiber connectivity. The capacity is already built into the panel.

Daily cleaning and maintenance of the fiber patch panel ports is the main area of focus for the data centre technician. The SC Fiber Patch Panels can be tilted out for cleaning quickly, ensuring that dust is removed swiftly, and the fiber optic patch panels retain their high signal strength.

Start with LC configurations for standard access, then scale to MPO/MTP backbones as data volumes climb. Racks are designed to grow with the demand.

Perfect Fit: Rack/Wall + Depth Guide

🧩 Depth matches your cabinet

Standard sizing is required for machine rooms. Server racks are full and 600mm deep, so patch panel units are installed that include either the 1U or 2U sizes. Constructed from heavy-duty 1.5mm SPCC cold-rolled steel, these panels resist warping and structural fatigue under the weight of bundled high-density cabling. Our patch panels fit securely in a server cabinet and allow for easy installation of all types of gear without the need for additional clearance. Optimal airflow around connections is maintained.

Flush-mount wall-mounted patch panels conserve floor space where rack capacity is limited. Technicians can easily access patch panel ports at eye level, and the cable runs will appear neat when the patch panels are mounted.

Compact cabinets create challenges with respect to fit. Shallow installations typically max out at 300mm, so slim profile rack-mount patch panels are available to accommodate these types of compact cabinet installations. The installation of slim profile patch panels does not require custom cutting, and the use of standard tools allows for easy assembly and installation.

Match your space:

• Full racks:1U/2U server rack patch panel (600mm standard dimension)
• Office walls:Wall mount patch panel (space saver)
• Tight cabinets:Shallow depth patch panel rack (300mm fit)

Depth error is a costly mistake in time and materials. Measure first, select the appropriate type, and install as quickly as possible.
