Why It Matters

Face Plate In Practice

A face plate is the visible end of a structured cabling system. It has to accept the adapter, protect the fiber behind it, survive being in an office wall and still look like it belongs there. Getting the format wrong means the whole outlet has to be re-cut.

Problems This Range Solves

Outlet formats that do not match the local wall box standard
Fiber bent too tightly in the shallow space behind a plate
Ports left open and collecting dust in an occupied office
Plates that do not match the electrical accessories already installed
Adapter formats that cannot be changed without replacing the plate

Who It Is For

Structured cabling contractors
Office and commercial fit-out teams
MDU and residential fiber installers
Data-center and lab bench cabling teams
Facilities teams maintaining installed outlets

Where It Is Used

Fiber to the desk in an office fit-out
In-home fiber outlets in a residential build
Laboratory and test bench fiber presentation
Media and broadcast facility wall outlets
Retrofitting fiber into an existing structured cabling estate

Use Guide

Specifying and Handling Face Plate

Before You Order

Confirm the wall box standard before ordering plate format
Leave a service loop in the wall box within the fiber's bend radius
Fit dust shutters or caps and leave them closed until commissioning

On Site

Label ports at install so moves and changes stay traceable
Tighten fixing screws evenly so the plate sits flat
Clean the port before every patch, the same as on a panel

FAQ

Face Plate Questions

Which wall box standards are supported?

Plates are available in 86 type and in international formats. Measure the installed wall box before ordering, because plate format is the item most often got wrong on a retrofit.

Can the adapter type be changed later?

On snap-in versions, yes. The adapter can be swapped without replacing the plate, which is useful when equipment changes from SC to LC during a refresh.

Is there room for a service loop behind the plate?

There is space designed for a loop within the fiber's bend radius, but it depends on the wall box depth. Deep boxes are strongly preferred for fiber outlets.

Do the plates have dust shutters?

Shuttered and capped versions are both available. In an occupied office a shutter is worth specifying, because open ports collect dust quickly.

Can plates be supplied in custom colors?

Yes, on volume orders, so the fiber outlets match the electrical accessories already installed in the building.
