NEXT STEP PATCH MODULE, 12 FIBER, MULTIMODE OM3/OM4, LC/PC

NextSTEP Patch Modules manage connections between network media/assemblies and active equipment ports. Unique in the industry, each NextSTEP Patch Module combines the functionality of a fusion-splice tray and an LC/SC adapter strip in the same module. Each Patch Module supports a choice of pre-terminated assemblies, field-terminable connectors or fusion splicing for unlimited network design options and installation flexibility. Each NextSTEP Patch Module provides 12 LC or 6 SC ports with a choice of fiber type, size, ferrule material and end-face polish to suit any installation environment. Patch Modules include an integrated splice sleeve holder that uses magnets to hold splice sleeves in place; eliminating the occurrence of micro-bends that result from press-fitting splices into rigid plastic or foam-style splice sleeve holders. Each NextSTEP Patch Module features integrated cable management and routing features for on-board slack management, bend-radius protection and strain-relief that work seamlessly with the system-level cable management features found in all NextSTEP Patch Panels. NextSTEP Patch Modules are fully compatible with all NextSTEP Patch Panels and support up to 144F in 1U; 576F in 4U; and up to 72F in NextSTEP Wall Mount applications. Patch Modules may be inserted or removed, without tools, from the front or rear of any NextSTEP Patch Panel and may be mixed or matched in any combination, in any shelf position, with other types of NextSTEP Fiber Modules.
