Quick Specs
| Category | Universal Optical Fiber Patch Panel, Sliding Type, 19″ rack mount |
| Port capacity | 24–72 port SC/ST/FC or 48–144 port duplex LC |
| Rack space | 1U / 2U / 3U |
| Tray type | Sliding, adaptor unloaded |
| Compliance | ISO/IEC 11801:2008 ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-C.3 |
The Heizka sliding fiber patch panel (Universal Optical Fiber Patch Panel, Sliding Type) pulls out on rails, so every adaptor and splice remains fully accessible for moves, adds and changes without unracking the panel or disturbing neighbouring connections. Available across 1U, 2U and 3U frame sizes, this fiber patch panel family scales from a 24-port SC entry point to a 144-port duplex LC distribution panel while sharing the same universal, adaptor-unloaded design.
Because the panel is universal, a single frame accepts SC, ST or FC adaptors, so the connector interface is chosen at commissioning rather than locked in at the factory. Combined with support for both ribbon and single fiber, the sliding-type panel suits FTTH head-ends, LAN/WAN cross-connects and CATV distribution equally well, and racks directly alongside Heizka copper patch panels in the same server rack cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Universal means the panel plate accepts SC, ST or FC adaptors rather than being fixed to one connector type, so the interface can be matched to the project’s pigtails and patch cords at commissioning.
The sliding tray pulls forward on rails so every adaptor and splice stays reachable for moves, adds and changes, without disconnecting the panel from the rack or from neighbouring patch cords.
Count today’s fiber count plus growth headroom and match it to LC or SC port capacity: HEAOU481S (1U) suits up to 48 LC ports, HEAOU962S (2U) up to 96, and HEAOU1443S (3U) up to 144.
No. This sliding-type family focuses on adaptor access; for a panel with an integrated splice tray in a fixed 1U or 4U frame, see the Heizka Fiber Patch Panel with Splice Tray.
Yes. It is built for telecommunications subscriber loop, FTTH, LAN/WAN and CATV applications and complies with ISO/IEC 11801 and ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-C.3.
Packaging & Delivery
Each Heizka sliding fiber patch panel ships as a complete 1U, 2U or 3U enclosure with the sliding tray and mounting hardware included. Adaptors and pigtails are packed separately when ordered, so the sliding fiber patch panel arrives ready for on-site fiber termination.
