Pro PatchTM
Optical Normal Through Panel
ADC’s Optical Normal Through Panel is the latest addition to its Pro Patch line of broadcast
patching products. This fiber panel is designed to provide patch by exception, normal through
functionality, similar to copper-based patch panels. Traditional fiber patch panels require a fiber
jumper to be in place at all times. With this newly designed panel, however, all fiber “Source”
and “Destination” connections are on the rear of the panel, with a normal through connection
between the “Source” and “Destination” ports. For greater convenience and reliability, patch and
monitoring capabilities are accessed on the front of the panel.

Features
Two density options:
• The 3RU chassis houses 6 modules to
provide 24 fiber terminations (12 pairs)
using simplex connectors (SC, FC, ST).
• The 4RU chassis houses 6 modules to
provide 48 fiber terminations (24 pairs)
using small-form-factor connectors (LC).
Functionality:
• Each module contains pairs of “Source” and
“Destination” fibers plus optional monitor
ports and a switch for emergency patching.
• Accommodates 1310 and 1550 singlemode
wavelengths (switch wavelength range is
1290-1330 and 1525-1610).
• Connector ports on front and rear may be
SC, FC, ST or LC.
• IL through module is approximately 0.5 dB
(final specifications TBD).
• Module port is configurable to 90/10, 95/5
or 99/1 split ratios.
Module specifications:
• Modules may be added to the chassis
as needed.
• “Source” and “Destination” terminations
may be made by either splicing raw cable
to pigtails attached to the modules or by
routing connectorized patch cords to the
back of the modules.
• Manual switch on front of module to
change to “Patched” operation.
• LED indicators for “Normal” and
“Patched” operations.
• Modules are available with or without
monitor ports on the front.
Chassis specification:
• 19" EIA flush mounting
• Hot swappable power supply
to power switches inside modules
• 110/220 IEC interface

Pro PatchTM Optical Normal Through Panel
Module Schematics
The new Pro Patch Optical Normal Through Panel provides patch by exception, normal through functionality.
Fiber “Source” and “Destination” connections are located on the rear of the panel, with a normal through
connection between the “Source” and “Destination” ports. To enable patching functionality, a fiber patch
cord is plugged into the front of the panel and a switch is flipped.
