SJ-OTB-M12-A 1U 12/24 Cores Fibre Optic Patch Panel

The SJ-OTB-M12-A is a 1U drawer-type fibre optic patch panel for 12–24 cores in a shallow 250 mm chassis: the splice tray slides out for splicing and inspection, then back into a body short enough for shallow wall cabinets and compact enclosures where a standard-depth drawer will not fit. It holds SC/UPC simplex cores with 12 or 24 fibers per tray on cold-rolled steel.

  • Rated −40 °C to +70 °C — covers unheated cabinets and plant rooms.

Where the SJ-OTB-M12-A Fits

  • Shallow wall cabinets — drawer access where depth is limited to ~250 mm.
  • FTTH floor distributors — 12–24 fiber termination with sliding splice access.
  • Compact enclosures — sites where a standard-depth drawer chassis will not fit.

Installation Notes

  • Mount the panel in any standard 19-inch rack or wall cabinet (1U); check the 250 mm body clears the cabinet depth with cabling.
  • Slide the tray out, splice to pigtails with protection sleeves, coil slack with controlled bends, and slide back.
  • Label each port before patching.

FAQ

SJ-OTB-M12-A 1U 12/24 Cores Fibre Optic Patch Panel FAQ

What is the advantage of a 250 mm shallow drawer panel?

It gives sliding splice access in cabinets too shallow for a standard drawer chassis — wall cabinets and compact enclosures where depth is limited.

What capacity does the SJ-OTB-M12-A support?

12 to 24 cores, SC/UPC simplex, with 12 or 24 fibers per splice tray.

Is it supplied with adapters and pigtails?

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

Does it fit any 19-inch rack?

Yes. It occupies 1U in any standard 19-inch rack or wall cabinet, with a 250 mm deep body.

What is the difference between the M12-A and M10?

Both are 12–24 core 1U drawer panels; the M12-A is the shallow 250 mm version for depth-limited cabinets, the M10 is the 311 mm standard-depth drawer.

Is it suitable for outdoor cabinets?

The panel belongs inside an enclosure. For outdoor use, install it inside a suitably rated outdoor cabinet.

Do you support project pricing and OEM?

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