Belden Inc. DCX-01RM-048P 1U 48-port Fiber Patch Panel

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. DCX-01RM-048P is a 1U rack-mount fiber optic patch panel configured with 48 ports and one adapter tray. It provides a high-density, organized termination point for fiber optic cabling in structured cabling infrastructures. The panel occupies a single rack unit of space, making it well suited for installations where rack real estate is limited. Licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and structured cabling installers are the primary trades that specify and deploy this panel in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise network closets.

This patch panel is used in fiber optic distribution systems that require organized, front-accessible termination in standard 19-inch equipment racks or cabinets. It is a fit for both new-construction and retrofit installations in commercial buildings, data centers, and campus network environments. The single integrated tray supports adapter modules, allowing the panel to accommodate various fiber connector types based on the adapters loaded into the tray.

Key Features

• 1U rack-mount form factor for high-density, space-efficient fiber termination
• 48-port capacity supports large fiber counts in a single rack unit
• Single adapter tray included for organizing and securing fiber connections
• Designed for use in standard 19-inch equipment racks and cabinets
• Supports front-accessible patching for simplified moves, adds, and changes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style component for use in rack-based fiber optic distribution systems requiring 1U 48-port patch panel solutions. Specific compatible adapter modules and fiber connector types should be verified against the manufacturer documentation for the DCX series.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician following BICSI and TIA-568 cabling standards. Power down or disconnect any active fiber transceivers connected to the run before terminating or repatching. Handle fiber cables with minimum bend radius requirements in mind to avoid signal degradation. Secure the panel to the rack using the appropriate cage nuts and screws before loading adapter modules or routing fiber.
