1 Device description
The Modular Industrial Patch Panel (MIPP) is a device for coupling and
managing fiber optics and electrical conductors for data exchange.
It is designed for the special requirements of industrial automation and
production and meets relevant industry standards.
The device is suitable for Ethernet component connections according to
IEEE 802.3-2000.
The modular concept enables integration of the device according to
individual requirements (see table 1).
Both amount and order of the modules and adapters and/or keystone jacks
can be defined and adapted to modified network structures.
The device consists of the following basic components:
modular housing for 1 to 6 modules
module with
LC Duplex adapter for optical fiber (OF) cable connection
SC Duplex adapter for optical fiber (OF) cable connection
RJ45 Keystone jacks for Ethernet cable connection
Housing, modules and adapters are each fixed with 2 screws. Keystone
jacks are installed by means of a click-stop device.
The device can be installed on both a DIN rail as well as with the help of a
wall mounting plate on an even surface.
