Zusammenfassung:A modular fiber optic patch panel system is disclosed. The system includes an enclosure and at least one patch panel module mounted in the enclosure. The enclosure includes a chassis with multiple module bays, each configured to receive a corresponding patch panel module. The patch panel modules each include a module housing, an input connector and an output connector. An optical directional coupler is connected to the input connector and a photodiode is positioned adjacent the optical directional coupler to measure an optical power level conveyed on the optical fiber. A data acquisition device is connected to the photodiode to capture the optical power level data and a microcontroller is connected to the data acquisition device to store the data.
