A 144-core fiber optic patch panel refers to a high-density fiber optic panel designed to accommodate up to 144 fibers using MPO/MTP connectors.
Here's a breakdown of what this typically means:
Key features and considerations for a 1-144 core MPO/MTP fiber optic patch panel might include:
High Density: Able to accommodate a large number of fibers in a compact space, reducing footprint and easing cable management.
Modularity: Typically designed with modular MPO/MTP cassettes or modules, which can be easily inserted or removed for maintenance or expansion.
Scalability: Capable of scaling up or down depending on network requirements, by adding or removing cassettes/modules.
Performance: Ensures low insertion loss and high return loss to maintain signal integrity over long distances.
Core Count: "" indicates the number of individual optical fibers that can be terminated in the patch panel. Each "core" refers to one fiber strand within a cable.
MPO/MTP Connectors: MPO and MTP connectors are commonly used for high-density fiber applications. They allow multiple fibers (typically 12 or 24 fibers per connector) to be connected simultaneously, which is crucial for achieving high fiber counts like 144.
Patch Panel: A is a housing or enclosure that provides termination, organization, and management of fiber optic cables and their connectors. It allows for easy connection and reconfiguration of fibers for network applications.
Compatibility: Should be compatible with standard MPO/MTP connectors and fiber types ().
