Fiber networks use thin strands of glass arranged in bundles called optical cables to transmit light signals over long distances. Light travels by bouncing off the walls of the cable repeatedly, until it eventually arrives at a destination where the signal is translated back into data and output for use by applications.
Fiber optic networks have two big benefits over other network types: 1) They allow for data to be transmitted rapidly over long distances, and 2) they typically enable more bandwidth and higher speeds for users.
What do fiber patch panels include?
Fiber patch panels usually take the form of metal enclosures. They're designed to hold a variety of components, including:
Fiber patch panels come in a wide variety of configurations.
For example, here's a picture of our 12-port rack mount splice & patch panel.
And here's our 24-port wall mount patch panel.
How patch panels are commonly used in fiber networks
Fiber patch panels are used to organize fiber optic cables and connections.
They are not active devices, meaning they don't actively filter data (like network switches). Instead, they simply provide a place for multiple connectors.
If you don't use a fiber patch panel when building a fiber network, you typically need to run fibers at a greater length, perhaps directly all the way from switches to endpoints (the client's optical network terminal, or ONT).
Running cables at this length makes them both more difficult to keep track of and more difficult to move. For example, if a server needed to be put on a different subnet, you would probably need to do a bit of construction work to rearrange the entire length of the cable - you might need to rip up the floor or take down a wall to get the cable to its new location.
However, with patch panels, adjusting cable connections is much easier. Ports are all in one place and patch cords are shorter, so network adjustments can be managed much more efficiently. Instead of ripping up the floor, you may be able to unplug one connector and plug in another.
