The Rittal DK 7178.535 is a durable 1 U fibre-optic patch panel designed for use with lockable Rittal fibre-optic splicing boxes. Part of the Rittal DK range, this panel provides a practical front interface for installing fibre-optic couplings within professional network, telecommunications and data infrastructure systems.
Manufactured from robust sheet steel and finished in RAL 7035 light grey, the DK 7178.535 is designed to integrate neatly with compatible Rittal rack infrastructure. The panel provides 20 coupling locations, allowing installers to create an organised and accessible fibre termination arrangement within the splicing box.
The DK 7178.535 supports E-2000, E-2000 Duplex, SC, LC and LC Duplex fibre-optic couplings. With a height of 1 U, it provides a compact solution for fibre distribution installations where efficient use of rack space and straightforward access to fibre connections are important.
Key Advantages
Purpose-designed fibre-optic patch panel for Rittal splicing boxes.
20 coupling locations for organised fibre termination.
Compatible with E-2000 and E-2000 Duplex couplings.
Compatible with SC, LC and LC Duplex couplings.
Manufactured from durable sheet steel.
Finished in RAL 7035 light grey.
Organised Fibre-Optic Connectivity for Network Infrastructure
Fibre-optic patch panels provide an accessible interface between installed fibre cabling and network equipment while helping protect and organise individual fibre connections. The Rittal DK 7178.535 enables fibre couplings to be arranged systematically at the front of a compatible splicing box, supporting easier installation, identification and maintenance.
Its multiple coupling compatibility makes the panel suitable for a range of fibre infrastructure configurations. The 20 available locations provide useful connection density within a compact 1 U format, while the sheet steel construction offers the mechanical durability required for professional network and telecommunications installations. When E-2000 Duplex couplings are used, only half of the available locations can be utilised.
Typical Applications
Fibre-optic network distribution systems.
Data centre fibre infrastructure.
Telecommunications installations.
Server and network rack systems.
Industrial communications cabinets.
Fibre-optic splicing and termination systems.
