Suitable for use anywhere that interconnections or splicing of optical fiber occurs, the Belden FiberExpress Ultra Patch Panel System offers the following features and benefits:

• Ultra high density, to maximize floor and rack space and provide scalability for future expansion, while being extremely protective of the optical fiber cables and connectors.
