Black Box Standard LC Duplex Fiber Adapter Panel with Ceramic Sleeves

Overview

The Black Box JPM455B-R2 is a fiber adapter panel designed to hold LC duplex couplers, providing a clean and well-aligned pass-through point for multimode fiber links. It fits into standard cutouts used in Black Box enclosures, cabinets, and most rack-mount fiber housings. The panel features ceramic sleeves that maintain precise fiber core alignment, ensuring low signal loss and reliable performance even after repeated connections.

Installation is straightforward with a snap-in mechanism that requires no tools, allowing technicians to quickly populate or expand fiber patch fields. This panel is ideal for low-density network setups where only a few LC ports are needed, making it a practical and economical choice for small server rooms, labs, or campus backbone extensions.
