1U High Density MPO/MTP® Patch Panel – 144F LC / 288F MDC | High‑Capacity Modular Fiber Enclosure

Overview

The FOCC 1U High Density MPO/MTP® Patch Panel is engineered for next‑generation data centers demanding exceptional fiber capacity in a compact footprint. Supporting 144 LC fibers or up to 288 MDC fibers within a single 1U rack space, this modular enclosure enables high‑speed connectivity with minimal cabling complexity.

Constructed with anodized lightweight aluminum, it provides enhanced durability, heat dissipation, and long‑term reliability in mission‑critical optical networks such as hyperscale data centers, enterprise backbones, and FTTx environments.

Key Features

• Ultra‑High Density: Accommodates 144 LC or 288 MDC fibers in only 1U of rack space.
• Modular MPO/MTP® Design: Independent plug‑in cassette modules with self‑lock mechanism for tool‑less installation.
• Front Cable Management: Integrated frame maintains clean routing and optimal bend radius.
• Flexible Connectivity: Supports 8F and 12F MPO/MTP® trunk systems and hybrid MDC/LC/SC fan‑outs.
• Lightweight Aluminum Structure: Environmentally friendly, durable, and corrosion‑resistant.
• Easy Identification: Replaceable pocket labels and color coding for each cassette position.

Applications

• Hyperscale and Enterprise Data Centers
• Telecommunication Central Offices and Cloud Infrastructures
• FTTx and Metropolitan Optical Networks
• High‑Performance Computing and AI Network Fabrics
• Rapid Deployment Fiber Backbones and Disaster Recovery Sites

Technical Specifications

Cross‑Platform Compatibility

This FOCC panel is fully interoperable with MPO/MTP® infrastructure from major global brands:

• FS.com FHD® and FHZ® Series – Fully supports Type‑A and Type‑B trunk polarity.
• Panduit Opticom® Enclosures – Compatible with LC and MTP cassettes via standard 19″ mounting rails.
• Corning Centrix™ Panels – Operates within low‑loss MTP® trunk systems (≤ 0.35 dB).
• Leviton Opt‑X UHD Series – Modular cassette alignment supported through universal front mount design.
• Tripp‑Lite N484‑Series – Mating compatible for retrofit applications in SMF and OM3/OM4 MPO backbones.

Cross‑brand integration allows seamless upgrades across multi‑vendor optical environments without re‑terminating trunk cables.

Advantages

1. Space Efficiency: Highest fiber density per U among global competitors (144F LC / 288F MDC).
2. Plug‑&‑Play Installation: Pre‑terminated modules minimize field work and reduce downtime.
3. Future‑Proof Architecture: Easily swap modules for new connector types (MDC, SN, CS planned).
4. Clean Management: Independent layered cassettes prevent over‑bending and simplify maintenance.
5. Global Standard Compliance: ISO 9001, RoHS, CE approved build processes ensure reliability.

FAQ

Q: What’s the difference between MDC and LC adapters in this panel?
A: MDC adapters deliver double the fiber density of LC while maintaining push‑pull convenience. The panel accepts both for modular flexibility.

Q: Can I combine MPO and MDC fan‑out cords in one 1U panel?
A: Yes — the cassettes support MPO/MTP®–MDC or MPO/MTP®–LC hybrids within the same chassis.

Q: Is the MPO/MTP® interface standard key‑up/key‑down?
A: FOCC supports both Type A and Type B polarity standards with customizable keying upon order.

Q: Can this panel be used in existing FS or Corning racks?
A: Absolutely. It uses universal 19″ mounting brackets compatible with major OEM frames.
