The patching module is a basic chassis composed of 6 (ETSI) or 8 levels (19 and 23), used to receive patching panels, which have been pre-equipped or not with adaptors for optical fibre connectors. Each level can have up to 12 connectors, when pigtails are coming via the front.
The maximum capacity of each shelf is therefore 72 connectors (ETSI), 96 (19), or 128 when pigtails are coming from the rear (23).
The patching module is fitted with tube guides, pigtail guides or jumper guides, in accordance with the chosen cabling configuration.
The module is composed of:
- A fixed chassis attached to the rack;
- 6 (ETSI) or 8 (19-23) hanging distribution levels,
- Accessories for tube guides, pigtail guides, and jumper guides.

Each distribution level is fitted with a strip for securing the optical connectors for patching, as well as a frontal strip for individual protection of the level.
The connectors support strip is available for all types of existing connectors. The module is of the swivelling type in order to optimise accessibility, while allowing minimum movement of the pigtails and of the fibres when opening the module. This is used to guarantee a minimum transient loss effect.
