SJ-OTB-M15 3U 96 Cores Fiber Optic Patch Panels

The SJ-OTB-M15 is a 3U drawer-type fiber optic patch panel for 96 cores: sliding splice trays behind SC/APC or SC/UPC simplex adapter rows, in a 300 mm deep cold-rolled steel chassis. It doubles the density of a 2U 48-core panel while keeping full drawer access — the mid-density choice for FTTH distribution cabinets and enterprise mainframes that patch and re-splice regularly.

Key Features

  • 96 cores in 3U — double the density of a 2U 48-core panel without moving to a full ODF frame.
  • Drawer-type access — splice trays slide out for splicing and inspection; no unmounting the panel.
  • APC or UPC, four adapter standards — SC/APC or SC/UPC simplex standard; FC, SC, ST, LC options.
  • Flexible tray loading — 12 or 24 fibers per tray to match cable construction.
  • Cold-rolled steel chassis — rigid 19-inch construction at 300 mm depth.
  • Rated −40 °C to +70 °C — covers unheated cabinets and plant rooms.

Where the SJ-OTB-M15 Fits

  • FTTH distribution cabinets — 96-fiber termination between feeder and drop sides.
  • Enterprise mainframes — building distribution in 3U with full drawer access.
  • High-touch mid-density sites — frequent adds, moves and changes on 96 fibers.

Need fewer ports? See the 48-core 2U panel. Need 144 cores? See the BWN-ODF-144-C or the SJ-OTB-M21 3U drawer. Browse the full fiber patch panel range or our ODF optical distribution frames.

Installation Notes

  • Mount the panel in any standard 19-inch rack (3U); leave front clearance for the trays to slide fully out.
  • Splice tray by tray: 12 or 24 fibers per tray, sleeves seated, slack coiled with controlled bends.
  • Label each tray and port row before patching — 96 unlabeled fibers is a maintenance trap.

FAQ

SJ-OTB-M15 3U 96 Cores Fiber Optic Patch Panels FAQ

What does a 3U 96 cores patch panel do?

It terminates 96 fiber cores in three rack units: incoming cables are spliced on sliding trays, and each fiber is presented as an adapter port for patching.

Is the SJ-OTB-M15 supplied with adapters and pigtails?

Tell us your adapter type (FC/SC/ST/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 3U in any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, at 300 mm depth.

What is the splice tray capacity?

12 or 24 fibers per tray, to match your cable construction.

Drawer or fixed panel for 96 cores?

The M15’s drawer access suits sites that re-splice and re-patch regularly; fixed panels are the cost-efficient choice for set-and-forget installations.

When should I move from 96 cores to a 144-core ODF?

When the site grows past 96 fibers or needs modular, per-12-fiber management — see the BWN-ODF-144-C modular unit or the SJ-OTB-M21 3U drawer for 144 cores.

Do you support project pricing and OEM?

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