Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of patch panel technology, and is a fiber optic integrated copper patch panel. Background Technology
[0002] A patch panel is a device used to connect and manage end-user lines or trunk lines. It is the most important component in the management subsystem and serves as the hub for cross-connecting the vertical backbone and horizontal cabling subsystems. Patch panels are widely used in various network environments, including but not limited to: computer networks, telephone networks, video surveillance systems, and data centers.
[0003] In the existing technology, the existing patch panel has a lot of installation modules, which takes up a lot of space, resulting in wasted space and increased costs. Although it is simple to operate, some patch panels lack a cable fixing mechanism, which makes it easy for cables to fall off due to external force. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems of existing patch panels having numerous installation modules, resulting in significant space occupation, increased costs, and lack of cable fixing mechanisms, which can lead to cable detachment due to external forces. Therefore, it provides an integrated optical and copper patch panel.
[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solutions:
[0006] This utility model provides an integrated optical copper patch panel, which includes:
[0007] Mounting base, wherein a plate frame is fixedly connected to the side surface of the mounting base;
[0008] Detachable components, which are mounted on the surface of the plate frame;
[0009] A fixing plate, the bottom side of which is fixedly connected to the top side of the mounting base via a connecting plate;
[0010] A fixing component is mounted on the surface of the board frame and is used to fix the cable.
[0011] Furthermore, there are two mounting bases, each with a mounting hole at its bottom, and the mounting bases are located on both sides of the plate frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the detachable component includes a mounting plate, fixing bolts, and an RJ45 crystal head slot. The mounting plate is mounted on the surface of the frame by fixing bolts, and the surface of the mounting plate is provided with an RJ45 crystal head slot.
[0013] Furthermore, the RJ45 crystal head slots are configured to be several, and adjacent RJ45 crystal head slots are equidistantly distributed.
[0014] Furthermore, the surface of the plate frame is provided with multiple fiber optic flange slots, which are used to install fiber optic flanges of different models.
[0015] Furthermore, there are two connecting plates, which are located at opposite positions at the bottom end of the fixed plate.
[0016] Furthermore, the bottom side of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the plate frame through a heat shrink tubing mounting platform. The surface of the heat shrink tubing mounting platform is provided with several heat shrink tubings, and the heat shrink tubing mounting platform is provided with optical fiber reserved parts on opposite sides.
[0017] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes an adjusting bolt, an adjusting plate, a clamping plate, an anti-slip strip, and a through hole. The fixing plate has a through hole on its surface. The adjusting bolt is installed on the top side of the fixing plate. The adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate at its end. The clamping plate is installed at the bottom of the adjusting plate. The anti-slip strip is installed on the inner wall of the clamping plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the end of the adjusting bolt penetrates the top side of the fixing plate, and the end of the adjusting bolt is connected to the inner cavity of the through hole.

[0021] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] The aforementioned integrated fiber optic and copper patch panel reduces space occupancy and prevents waste by unifying multiple interface modules into a compact device. This space reduction not only lowers equipment procurement costs but also reduces additional costs related to space and equipment layout. The reduced number of devices also lowers maintenance costs. Furthermore, it features visualization and simplified management. The highly integrated design makes network management clearer, reduces messy and complex cable layouts, and improves the efficiency of troubleshooting and maintenance. Previously, devices were too simplistic, allowing only one type of device to be used. Common network patch panels with 24 ports resulted in excessive equipment waste due to insufficient port usage. This invention addresses the issue of reducing equipment usage, lowering construction costs, and improving space utilization in network center construction projects. Cables can be terminated using a punch-down patch panel, and the number of devices can be quickly changed according to the usage in the network center. The included fixing components effectively and orderly secure the connected cables, ensuring neat cable arrangement, improving cable stability, and preventing cable detachment due to external forces.
