SJ-OTB-M22 5U 288 Cores Rack Mount Patch Panel

The SJ-OTB-M22 is a 5U rack mount patch panel for 288 cores with LC duplex adapters: sliding splice trays behind high-density LC adapter rows, in a 400 mm deep cold-rolled steel chassis. It is the highest-density drawer panel in the range — 288 fibers on LC duplex in five rack units — for central distribution points that need maximum count with full sliding access to every tray.

Key Features

  • 288 cores on LC duplex — the highest-density drawer panel in the range: 288 fibers in 5U on high-density LC adapter rows.
  • Full drawer access — every splice tray slides out for splicing and inspection, even at 288 cores.
  • LC for density — duplex LC packing doubles the per-row fiber count of SC at the same rack height.
  • Flexible tray loading — 12 or 24 fibers per tray to match cable construction.
  • Deep 400 mm chassis — working room for large-count cables and slack.
  • Rated −40 °C to +70 °C — covers unheated distribution rooms.

Where the SJ-OTB-M22 Fits

  • Central distribution points — 288-fiber LC termination in 5U.
  • FTTH central cabinets — maximum feeder-to-drop density with sliding access.
  • Data center and PoP rows — high-count patching without a floor-standing frame.

Installation Notes

  • Mount the panel in any standard 19-inch rack (5U); 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 — at 288 fibers, labeling is the difference between a frame and a trap.

FAQ

SJ-OTB-M22 5U 288 Cores Rack Mount Patch Panel FAQ

What does a 5U 288 cores patch panel do?

It terminates 288 fiber cores in five rack units: incoming cables are spliced on sliding trays, and each fiber is presented as an LC duplex port for patching.

Why LC duplex at 288 cores?

Duplex LC packs twice the fibers per adapter row compared with SC at the same rack height — it is what makes 288 cores in 5U practical.

Is the SJ-OTB-M22 supplied with adapters and pigtails?

Tell us your adapter type (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 5U in any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet, at 400 mm depth.

What is the splice tray capacity?

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

What is the difference between the M22 and M23?

Same 288-core 5U drawer chassis; the M22 is loaded for LC duplex (high density), the M23 for SC duplex (SC-standard sites).

Do you support project pricing and OEM?

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