Panduit FDPPSIG Fiber DIN Rail Mount Patch Panel
The Panduit FDPPSIG IndustrialNet™ DIN Rail Fiber Optic Patch Panel delivers secure, standards-compliant fiber termination and protection in industrial automation, factory floor, and harsh-environment networks. Designed for 35mm DIN rail mounting with adjustable locking latches, this standard-depth enclosure protects terminated distribution-style fiber cables while maintaining the modularity and serviceability integrators need when building out machine control networks, SCADA systems, or plant-wide fiber backbones. The included PG21 cable entry gland accommodates a range of fiber cable diameters, and compatibility with Panduit Fiber Adapter Panels (FAPs) ensures you can field-terminate LC, SC, or MPO connections without compromising environmental protection.
Key Features

- cULus listed, RoHS compliant, tested to IEC 60068 environmental standards
DIN rail mounting is the backbone of industrial control panel design, and the FDPPSIG brings that same modularity to fiber optic infrastructure. The adjustable latches lock onto standard 35mm DIN rail (IEC 60715 / DIN EN 50022), letting you snap the enclosure into place alongside PLCs, relays, and terminal blocks without drilling or custom fabrication. When cabinet space is tight or the application calls for wall or equipment mounting, the same latch design adapts to flat-surface installation using the included hardware. The 2.6-inch width keeps the footprint compact—critical when you're working inside crowded electrical cabinets or machine-mounted junction boxes—while the 5.9-inch height provides enough internal volume to manage splice trays, fanouts, and connector boots without stress on the fiber.
The PG21 cable entry gland is where this panel earns its keep in real-world deployments. Rated to IP54 when properly installed (panel body only; final ingress rating depends on cabinet integration), the gland accommodates two cable entry points using the supplied inserts, which handle a range of jacketed fiber cable diameters from tight indoor breakouts to ruggedized outdoor-rated distribution cables. This dual-insert design means you can bring in a trunk cable and route a drop cable out to another enclosure or device without adding an external splice box. Inside, the panel accepts any Panduit FAP—whether you're terminating LC duplex for 10G links, SC simplex for legacy connections, or MPO-12 for 40/100G aggregation—so the same enclosure can adapt to your connector standard without field modifications or part swaps.
Industrial fiber deployments demand protection from vibration, temperature swings, dust, and accidental contact during maintenance. The FDPPSIG meets IEC 60068 environmental testing standards, which cover mechanical shock, vibration, and temperature cycling—conditions that would fracture unprotected fusion splices or crack ceramic ferrules. The enclosed design shields terminated fibers from EMI, particulate contamination, and physical damage, extending service life in paper mills, wastewater treatment plants, oil and gas facilities, and factory floors where airborne debris and mechanical activity are constant. The gray finish integrates visually with industrial control gear, maintaining a professional appearance in customer-facing equipment rooms or audited facilities where cable management and labeling standards are enforced.
Compliance is built in: cULus listing covers North American electrical code requirements, while IEC 60715, DIN EN 60715, and DIN EN 50022 approvals ensure compatibility with European and international industrial panel standards. RoHS compliance simplifies procurement for global projects and government contracts where material restrictions apply. The Panduit IndustrialNet™ portfolio is purpose-built for these environments—this isn't repurposed telecom hardware stretched into industrial use; it's designed from the ground up for DIN rail integration, cabinet density, and the serviceability demands of operational technology networks where downtime costs are measured in production hours, not user complaints.
