The Xpress Fiber Management (XFM) 4RU patch panel is a rack mountable interconnect point specifically designed to manage dense fiber applications. Based on the LGX® intermateability platform, the panel is fully compatible with AFL’s XFM Optical Cassette and Poli-MOD solutions, offering enhanced management of densities up to 288F using MTP/MPO, single fiber, or patch and splice methodologies. A hinged fiber management panel can be secured in an upright or lowered position, which provides enhanced cable routing exiting the panel to the left or right, and also allows cable assemblies to be routed up and across the front of the panel for extreme density management. This panel can be provisioned with a key lock at the time of order for secure environments.
