Fiber Optic Patch Panel

48 Port Fiber Patch Panel 2U 19″ Rack-Mount

The BWN-ODF-48A is a 48-port fiber patch panel for 2U 19-inch racks: forty-eight SC/APC or SC/UPC simplex cores on a fixed cold-rolled steel panel with a 48-fiber splice tray behind the adapter row. It is the mid-density workhorse for FTTH distribution cabinets, enterprise mainframes and small data center rows — two rack units for a fully spliced, labeled 48-fiber group.

Key Features

  • 48 cores in 2U — mid-density termination for distribution cabinets and mainframes without moving to a full ODF frame.
  • APC or UPC, SC or LC — order to match your network polish and connector standard.
  • Integrated 48-fiber splice tray — all 48 splices organized and protected behind the adapter row.
  • Cold-rolled steel body — rigid 19-inch construction for racks and cabinets.
  • Fixed-panel reliability — no moving parts; a solid panel for permanent installations.
  • Rated −40 °C to +70 °C — covers unheated cabinets and plant rooms.

Where the BWN-ODF-48A Fits

  • FTTH distribution cabinets — 48-fiber termination between feeder and drop sides.
  • Enterprise mainframes — floor or building distribution in 2U.
  • Small data center rows — mid-density patching without a full ODF frame.

Need higher density? See the 96-core 3U SJ-OTB-M15 or our ODF optical distribution frames. Need fewer ports? See the 24-port 1U panel. Browse the full fiber patch panel range.

Installation Notes

  • Mount the panel in any standard 19-inch rack (2U); clamp the incoming cables at the rear entry.
  • Splice to pigtails with protection sleeves, lay them in the 48-fiber tray, and seat the adapters row by row.
  • Label both rows before patching — 48 unlabeled ports cost hours later.

FAQ

48 Port Fiber Patch Panel 2U 19″ Rack-Mount FAQ

What does a 48 port fiber patch panel do?

It terminates forty-eight fiber cores in two rack units: the incoming cables are spliced to pigtails on the integrated tray, and each fiber is presented as an adapter port for patching.

Is the BWN-ODF-48A supplied with adapters and pigtails?

Tell us your adapter type (SC/LC, APC/UPC) and pigtail requirements when ordering and we confirm the factory configuration on the datasheet.

Does it fit any 19-inch rack?

Yes. It occupies 2U in any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, at 200 mm depth.

What is the difference between the ODF-48A and ODF-48B?

Same 48-core 2U capacity and fixed cold-rolled steel construction in a different front design. Choose the design that matches your cabinet standard or tell us your preference when ordering.

SC/APC or SC/UPC — which should I order?

APC for PON/FTTH links, UPC for enterprise and data cabling. Both are offered on this model.

Can it handle 96 fibers?

This model terminates 48 cores. For 96-core density in 3U, see the SJ-OTB-M15 drawer panel.

Do you support project pricing and OEM?

Yes — send adapter configuration and quantities to our sales team for a configuration review and quote.
