The Gepco® Brand series of feedthrough panels and chassis provide a convenient, pre-engineered solution for bulkhead interfacing of general-purpose ST, SC or LC optical fiber formats.

Uitilizing premium-grade, zirconia sleeve connectors, Gepco feedthrough panels and chassis deliver precision optical alignment and low insertion loss. The panels are available with six, eight, 10 or 12 positions when filled with ST, SC, LC or LC Duplex format connectors and with four, six or eight positions when filled with SC Duplex format connectors.

Available in two configurations, the flanged panel series provides extra rigidity to minimize panel flexing, while the chassis series provides a complete rear enclosure for cable management. The black anodized and engraved panels take up 1RU space.
