Explore our core selection of active transceivers, patch cords, and fiber connectivity solutions designed to pair with our high-density 3U patch panels.
In the era of hyper-scale cloud deployments, AI workloads, and deep edge computing networks, network infrastructure managers face an ongoing battle: space optimization vs. connectivity scaling. The 3U (3RU) Patch Panel represents the engineering sweet spot for optical distribution systems. Unlike 1U setups that run out of space rapidly, or massive 8U/12U units that are rigid to deploy, 3U configurations present a highly scalable, modular paradigm designed for flexible expansions.
As a leading partner in optical terminations, Kocent Optec Limited utilizes its extensive state-of-the-art facilities to design and manufacture OEM 3U patch panels that combine heavy-duty hardware reliability with extreme routing density. Our systems allow network architects to consolidate up to 288 fibers using LC duplex components, or up to 864 fibers under high-density MTP/MPO cassette setups within a standard 19-inch rack unit.
Off-the-shelf patch panels often force compromises in cable routing angles, accessibility, and compatibility. Our OEM 3U patch panel customization addresses these roadblocks by providing tailored designs in:
For more than 13 years, we have scaled production capacity to supply telecommunication operators and data centers globally.
Global IT procurement executives faces several distinct headwinds when negotiating supply chains for fiber networks: delivery delays, high costs of components, and inadequate compliance metrics. By acting as a direct-from-factory OEM manufacturer, Kocent Optec addresses these bottlenecks.
Our 3U patch panel solutions are designed from the ground up for quick installation. Technicians save up to 40% of their typical setup time thanks to toolless modular cassettes and pre-terminated trunk breakout routing. Additionally, our structured layout minimizes insertion losses, ensuring that networks migrating to 400G and 800G transceivers maintain a tight, high-performance link budget.
In addition to high density, thermal optimization is a key concern in hyperscale environments. A poorly designed patch panel can obstruct airflow, leading to structural heat buildup. Our OEM 3U patch panels incorporate ventilated front panels, back cable clamps, and a low-profile chassis, enabling unimpeded airflow inside active racks.
A comprehensive overview of our standardized and customizable 3RU fiber patch panels.
| Feature / Parameter | Standard Specifications | OEM Customization Options |
|---|---|---|
| Rack Dimensions | 19-inch width standard (approx. 482.6 mm) x 3U height (133.35 mm) | 21-inch ETSI rack options available |
| Materials & Finish | Heavy-duty SPCC cold-rolled steel, electrostatic powder coating | Stainless steel, customizable matte finish or corporate colors |
| Adapter Compatibility | LC, SC, FC, ST, MTP, MPO | Mixed adapter plates, multi-connector configurations |
| Cassette Slots | Up to 12 sliding LGX cassette slots (front & rear access) | Custom rail depths and modular configurations |
| Max Fiber Capacity | 288 Fibers (LC Duplex) / 864 Fibers (MPO/MTP high-density) | Ultra-dense configurations matching customer specifications |
| Operating Temp Range | -40°C to +80°C | Extended environmental protection for industrial and outdoor settings |
As physical networks migrate from legacy 10G/40G structures to 400G and 800G backbones (utilizing QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers), the insertion loss margin becomes thin. Traditional patch panels risk degrading signals through poor connection alignment. Kocent Optec's 3U patch panels are designed to optimize fiber routing pathways, ensuring low bending stress and high compatibility with ultra-low loss (ULL) MTP-to-LC cassettes.
Established in 2012 in Hong Kong as a hi-tech communication enterprise, Kocent Optec Limited has emerged as a premier manufacturer of fiber optic termination products. Over the past 13 years, our company has built reliable supply lines that service major telecom operators and systems integrators across the globe.
Our manufacturing operations adhere strictly to international fiber optic standards. We employ a rigorous test regimen that includes 100% insertion loss and return loss inspections, interferometer fiber geometry checks, and environmental performance testing. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that our OEM and ODM patch panels deliver consistent, reliable performance in the field.
Today, our network of clients spans across East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, South America, North America, North Africa, and South Africa.
We take pride in our history of winning critical telecommunications tenders and meeting the rigorous demands of tier-1 global telecom operators. Our components and patch panels are integrated into networks run by major service providers, including:
Providing clear, professional engineering answers to common procurement questions.
Under a standard LC Duplex adaptor setup, our 3U patch panel handles up to 288 fibers. By utilizing ultra-high-density MTP/MPO cassettes with 24-fiber outputs, the total panel capacity can be expanded to 864 fibers, making it ideal for dense data center distribution layers.
Sliding chassis 3U patch panels slide forward on telescopic rails, allowing technicians to service patch ports and clean adapters from the front of the rack without opening the rear cabinet doors. Fixed configurations require more clearance and are typical in budget-conscious setups where connection updates are rare.
We implement standardized modular adapter plates and LGX-compliant cassettes. This enables network operators to install LC, SC, and MTP connections in the same physical 3U frame, allowing legacy systems and modern high-speed links to coexist within a single enclosure.
Our manufacturing facility and products comply with RoHS, REACH, CE, and ISO 9001:2015. Additionally, the materials used are chosen for flame-retardancy (UL 94 V-0 class) and are designed to satisfy Telcordia GR-449-CORE standards for fiber distribution systems.
Yes. As an OEM and ODM specialist, we support full custom paint matching (RAL color codes), laser-etched silk screening for numbering systems, logo printing, and specialized product packaging configurations.
Depending on configuration complexity, prototypes are typically ready within 7 to 10 days. Mass production runs usually ship within 3 to 4 weeks, backed by coordinated international shipping logistics to ensure on-time delivery.
Complete your deployment with our range of high-quality transceivers, cassettes, cleaner tools, and multi-channel multiplexers.
