12-Port LC APC Singlemode Fiber Patch Panel with Green Couplers - 1U Loaded 19" Rack Mount for Data Center & Telecom Network Cabling

As you can see from the photos, I painted the panel silver to match my Ubiquiti equipment. I changed some of the LC couplers out for OM5, OM3 and will add some OM4 magenta when I get my OM4 MPO breakout cable to connect 6 of the ports. I’ve run 3 duplex multimode fiber cables to two areas in the house. I wanted some future compatibility in case I need more multimode connections so I also pulled a 12 conductor MPO OM4 cable and terminated it at the wall panel. I’ll use a MPO to LC breakout cable to attach 6 of the 12 LC ports on this panel for future expansion. This panel is good quality and the LC couplers are high quality with the guards installed on each side. The panel itself is decently thick metal and is substantial. It came with each port numbered but since I painted it, I lost that numbering but that’s no issue because I’d rather use my label maker and label it with black or black and white on clear labels. For home users like me, this is a much more useful panel, compared to the panels that have a plethora of fiber connections that most home users will ever need. I think 12 duplex connectors is pushing it but I’ll end up using at least 4 of them to start; two to the living room, one to the secondary office and one to the master bedroom. I use multimode 10GbE SFP+ transceivers on each side so the other locations have a large data pipe that, in some cases, have multiple computers that were sharing a 1GbE connection to the network equipment. Now I have the 10GbE connection so each 1GbE connection of the older computers can each have full bandwidth back to the file server and gigabit internet. My living room has a media center computer that will be using 2 bonded 10GbE for a 20GbE connection back to the Ubiquiti port aggregation switch with 8 SFP+ ports.
