Overview

The Panduit Opticom CFAPPBL1A is a 1 RU angled fiber patch panel for 19-inch EIA rack mount installations. Constructed from black powder-coated steel, it supports up to four Opticom Cassettes or FAP adapter panels, ensuring structured fiber termination. Designed for compatibility with Panduit FMT1A and FMT2A trays, it streamlines deployment in network infrastructure. The angled design maintains fiber bend radius, preserving signal integrity in high-density environments. Its 1 RU footprint optimizes rack space, making it suitable for data centers, telecom rooms, and enterprise network closets. The steel construction and powder coating ensure durability and a professional finish. Key features include a front cover that protects fibers when closed and provides space for port mapping labels when open. Cable routing flanges on both sides ensure smooth transitions and bend radius control. The panel accommodates Panduit pre-terminated cassettes, FAPs, trunk cables, connectors, and patch cords. With the FLEX-OPTI-1RU adapter bracket, it also supports HD Flex Cassettes. The rear mounting design eliminates the need for horizontal cable managers, conserving floor space. Fiber management spools enhance protection, maintenance, and cable slack management for an aesthetic appearance. The CFAPPBL1A is part of a modular system for managing up to 96 fibers. It mounts on a standard EIA 19-inch rack, reducing floor space requirements and lowering system costs. The FQCRCML Rear Cable Manager, designed for standard EIA 19-inch racks, supports MPO Interconnect Cables terminated into Opticom and HD Flex Cassettes, providing strain relief, bend radius control, superior aesthetics, organization, and routing.
