Abstract
The fiber optics patch panel assembly includes a pair of patch panels each having a base and a pair of first sides. A wall attachment portion is disposed on the base of each panel, and a mounting portion disposed on each of the first sides of each of the panels. A rack mounting bracket is attached to the mounting portion of one of the first sides of each of the panels. A panel attachment is attached to the mounting portion of an other of the first sides of each of the panels and attaches the panels to one another. A single panel can be wall-mounted, or rack mounted in a standard rack mount assembly using two panels and the rack mounting bracket, or mounted in a half-sized custom rack without needing any modifications.
