DIGITUS Professional Fibre-Optic Splice Box 1U 19" Sliding, 6x LC Duplex (12 Fibres) OM4 Multimode, Light Grey

The DIGITUS Professional DN-96330-4 is a 19-inch 1U sliding fibre splice box equipped with 6 LC duplex couplers and 12 coloured OM4 pigtails, made for installers who need to terminate a small multimode trunk cleanly in a network rack or wall cabinet.

The factory has already done the patch side: the couplers sit in the front panel and the pigtails are exposed and laid into the splice cassette, which uses crimp splice holders. On site you strip the incoming cable, fusion-splice each fibre to its pigtail, seat the protected splices in the holders and close the drawer. The steel tray slides out to the front, so you can splice comfortably and come back to the cassette later without taking the box out of the rack. It is a good fit for links between a main rack and a single remote cabinet, a second building or a floor distributor, where 12 fibres give six duplex connections with spares for future switches or redundant uplinks. Couplers, pigtails and cassette come as one equipped unit, so you do not have to match parts from different suppliers.

• 1x 19" 1U sliding splice box, 6x LC/UPC duplex couplers fitted
• 12 coloured OM4 pigtails, prefabricated and laid into the splice cassette(s)
• Splice cassette(s) with crimp splice holders and cassette cover
• Strain relief for the incoming cable
• M20/M25 screw fitting

• "LC x 12" in the product name means 12 fibres, which is 6 duplex ports. Each link uses two fibres, one transmit and one receive.
• A 12-fibre OM4 trunk fills the box exactly. If your trunk carries 24 or 48 fibres, this is the wrong size.
• The cassette uses crimp splice holders: plan splice protectors that suit crimp-type holders rather than assuming any heat-shrink sleeve will seat correctly.
• No field connectorisation: the factory pigtails give consistent connector quality, and your work is limited to the splices.
• The sliding drawer needs slack on the cables behind it so the tray can move without pulling on the splices.
• At 240 mm deep it suits shallow wall cabinets; leave space behind for the cable entry and bend radius.
• Front patching uses standard LC duplex OM4 or OM3 patch cords to multimode SFP or SFP+ transceivers.
• Record which trunk fibre colour lands on which front port as you splice. With only six ports the panel is quick to label, and a correct record saves time when a link has to be traced later.
• Because the box takes a full rack unit for six ports, it makes most sense where the trunk is small. In a rack that will grow, reserve the unit next to it for a second box rather than splicing a larger trunk across two half-filled panels.

• Single-mode (OS2) trunks: splicing single-mode fibre to OM4 pigtails gives a failed link. Order DN-96330/9.
• APC (green, angled) patch cords: the couplers are LC/UPC.
• SC patch cords: the front panel is LC duplex only.
• More than 12 fibres: there is no room to add couplers. Use DN-96331-4 (24 fibres) or DN-96332-4 (48 fibres).
• Splicing without a fusion splicer: tools, trunk cable and rack mounting screws are not in the list of included parts.
