Belden Inc. AX104682 Fx Uhd 2U Patch Panel Housing

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. AX104682 is a 2U rack-mount patch panel housing designed for use with FX UHD (Ultra High Density) fiber optic connectivity systems. This housing serves as the structural enclosure that holds adapter plates, cassettes, or modules, allowing technicians to organize and terminate high-density fiber runs in a structured cabling environment. Built for installations where port density and cable management are critical, this housing supports organized fiber distribution in both enterprise and data center applications. Licensed cabling contractors and fiber optic technicians are the typical installers for this type of infrastructure component.

This housing is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial buildings, data centers, and enterprise network rooms where high-density fiber termination is required. The 2U form factor allows it to fit into standard 19-inch equipment racks or enclosures. It is designed to work within the FX UHD product family, accepting compatible adapter plates or cassette modules to support a variety of fiber connector types and configurations. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit or upgrade projects where greater port density is needed in existing rack space.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or fiber optic technicians. Before installation, de-energize or power down any active equipment in the rack and follow applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local building codes. Secure the housing to the rack using appropriate rack screws before populating with modules or adapter plates. Avoid exceeding the bend radius of fiber cables during routing and termination inside or around the housing.
