Black Box JPM385A – 1U 24-Port Preloaded Duplex LC Fiber Enclosure

Product Overview

The Black Box JPM385A is a 1U rack-mount fiber enclosure that ships preloaded with 24 duplex LC adapter pairs, delivering a fully terminated, high-density fiber patch point out of the box. Designed for commercial data centers, enterprise IDF/MDF closets, and AV infrastructure backbones, this fiber patch panel provides a clean and organized termination point for multimode or singlemode fiber runs without requiring field splicing or additional adapter installation. AV system designers and structured cabling contractors will appreciate the plug-and-play deployment that reduces installation labor significantly on active projects.

Product Description

The JPM385A accommodates 24 duplex LC connections in a single rack unit, providing up to 48 individual fiber strands in a compact footprint. The enclosure uses a sliding chassis design that allows it to be pulled forward from the rack for easy access to patch cords and fiber management. The preloaded duplex LC adapters accept standard LC connectors used throughout modern fiber infrastructure, including OM3, OM4 multimode and OS2 singlemode applications. This makes the JPM385A well-suited for AV-over-fiber backbones, 10G and 40G data center inter-switch links, fiber-to-the-desk deployments in large commercial facilities, and video transport over fiber in broadcast and command center environments. The front panel includes clear labeling channels for port identification, and the internal cable management guides help maintain bend radius compliance.
