Leviton 4S255-WS8 48 Port 2U Fiber Optic Patch Panel

Product Description

The LEVITON 4S255-WS8 is a 48-port, 2U shielded flat patch panel designed for fiber optic connectivity applications. Built to accept Quickport-style snap-in inserts, this panel provides a clean, organized termination point for fiber runs in structured cabling systems. The flat-face design keeps the front profile low, which helps preserve bend radius clearance in tight rack environments. It ships in white and is sold as a single unit. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors typically install this panel in telecom rooms, data centers, and equipment closets.

This panel is suited for both new installations and retrofit projects where high-density fiber organization is required in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or cabinet. The 48-port capacity makes it practical for mid-size to large network closets handling multiple fiber drops. The 2U rack height balances port density with accessibility, giving technicians adequate room to dress and label each port. The shielded construction adds a layer of protection in environments with elevated electromagnetic interference.

Key Features

• 48-port capacity in a 2U rack form factor for high-density fiber termination
• Shielded construction for use in environments with electromagnetic interference concerns
• Flat-face panel design supports proper fiber bend radius management
• Accepts Quickport snap-in inserts for flexible adapter configuration
• White finish for clean visual identification in structured cabling environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation component for 19-inch rack-mounted fiber optic structured cabling systems that support Quickport snap-in insert modules.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or network technician. Power down or de-energize any adjacent active equipment before mounting to avoid accidental contact with live components. Secure the panel to the rack using the appropriate rack screws before inserting Quickport modules or dressing fiber cables. Follow TIA-568 and local low-voltage cabling codes for proper cable management and bend radius requirements.
