OpDAT slide² K and OpDAT slide² BO

Fiber optic patch panels for space-saving or structured breakout installations

With the new OpDAT slide² K and OpDAT slide² BO variants, METZ CONNECT is expanding its proven OpDAT slide² fiber optic patch panel series. Both models are specially designed to meet the requirements of modern networks and data centers and offer decisive advantages in terms of space savings, flexibility, and ease of installation.

OpDAT slide² K

The new OpDAT slide² K fits seamlessly into the new generation of OpDAT patch panels. It is based on the well-known OpDAT slide². Highlights include a reduction in box depth of around 30% compared to the OpDAT slide² and angled cable entries. The reduced depth and slanted cable entries enable use in 19-inch data cabinets with front and rear mounting on the same height unit. In addition, installation in 19-inch wall cabinets is made easier. In general, the new OpDAT slide² K is the first choice when space is limited. The rear of the OpDAT slide² has four M20 cutouts in the splice version. The prefab installation cable version has four U-shaped cutouts. In both versions (Splice/Prefab), two of the four cable entries can be used simultaneously.

Your advantages

Installations in confined spaces

Angled cable entries for easier cable routing

Optimal use of space thanks to optional front or rear mounting

Versatile connections:
4 M20 or U cutouts

OpDAT slide² BO

The new OpDAT slide² BO variant expands the existing slide² series with a solution specially optimized for breakout and solid-core cables. The housing is based on the proven OpDAT slide² system, but has been adapted to the requirements of breakout or solid core cable applications in terms of cable management and strain relief. It offers sufficient space for the introduction and fixing of cables with direct connection of the individual fibers to standard couplings. The integrated cable guide and optional strain relief ensure a structured and secure installation. Cable routing at the rear is achieved via a brush entry made of thermoplastic and a strain relief strip designed so that the cables can be secured with two cable ties, enabling double strain relief. This design protects the fibers from dust and mechanical stress, enables orderly insertion with high packing density, and ensures secure cable fixation.

Equipment variants

Splice

As OpDAT slide² K equipped with pigtails and couplings, this variant is prepared for the connection of installation cables. The pigtails are visually inspected in accordance with IEC 61300-3-35 Ed.2 and stored in the splice cassettes ready for splicing

with splice holders. The assignment is in accordance with the color code of IEC 60304. Available with up to 24 fibers (with crimp splice protection).

Prefab installation Cable | OpDAT slide² K

This version of the OpDAT slide² K is the ideal choice for working with prefab cables. The patch panel is equipped with connectors, and the slanted U-shaped cutouts on the rear allow incoming cables to be installed quickly and without tools. The maximum packing density is 12 duplex connectors.

Prefab installation Cable | OpDAT slide² BO

This variant of the OpDAT slide² BO is optimized for connecting breakout or solid core cables. These include both prefab installation cables and cables equipped with the OpDAT FAST^TM connector. The patch panel is equipped with couplings. Incoming cables are secured to the integrated strain relief strip using two cable ties per cable and routed from there to the coupling.

Front plates

The connector cut-outs on the new front plate are arranged in a user-friendly manner so that each connector can be easily removed or inserted. The front plates can also be ordered with mixed components. The front plates are available for the following adapter cut-outs.

SC-S / LC-D / E2000-S

SC-D / LC-Q / ST-D / ST-D/SC-D

E2000-D

All front panels of the 1RU versions are available with 12 or 24 coupling cutouts. They feature a removable labeling field and are powder-coated in gray (RAL 7035) or black (RAL 9005).

Title block

Each front plate is equipped with labeling fields. These can be individually filled out by hand or with a labeling device. The labeling fields can also be removed and the labeling can be glued on.
