NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH ANNOUNCEMENT FROM AURIGA

NEW SLIDING OPTICAL FIBRE PATCH PANELS FROM OPTRONICS 

Auriga, the optical fibre specialist distributor, is pleased to announce that it is the first to offer the new Optronics sliding fibre optic patch panel.

Over recent years the fixed Optronics 19” 1U patch panel has become almost an industry standard for consistent quality, features and value, accommodating all of the industry standard interconnection types. However, as is inherent in all such designs, whilst often fine for the original installation, access to the splicing field behind the front panel is limited, if it needs to be subsequently revisited. 

The answer to this need is the new sliding panels from Optronics.

As its name implies the front panel and splicing field can be simply released from the patch panel, and, whilst still supported by it, slid forward to present easy access to the rear of the front panel and the spicing field for the required rework or modifications.

Graham Lipson, Managing Director of Auriga, comments “The original fixed panel is still an excellent solution, however the addition of the new sliding patch panel should prove to be a real benefit to installers and their clients in applications where internal access to the patch panel is likely to be subsequently required.”
