Any Port Panel (APP) - Base-16 Optimized Fiber Patch Panel
Go!Foton, a global leader in fiber optic connectivity solutions, today announced
their new PEACOC Any Port Panel (APP), a high-density, Base-16 fiber optic
patch panel engineered to support the rapid evolution of hyperscale, cloud,
and AI data centers. As data centers face mounting pressure to scale quickly
and simplify complex upgrades, APP provides a future-proof platform ideal for
16-fiber transceivers as well as legacy architectures. Compared to other
solutions, APP offers higher and optimized port density, reducing the need for
additional rack space. And its intuitive cassette mapping enables rapid
deployment to ease operators' upgrade to 800 Gb and beyond.
“Data centers are under intense pressure to upgrade quickly and efficiently to
support AI and next-generation optical speeds,” said Brian Berdan, senior
product manager at Go!Foton. “APP was designed as an evolutionary product
in the PEACOC family to remove complexity and precisely map to Base-16
deployments. Its modular architecture allows customers to scale with
confidence, while simplifying installation and preserving rack space.”
Base-16 optimized for high-speed networks
Unlike legacy Base-8 or modified Base-24 solutions, APP is purpose-built for Base16 applications. The system can map up to nine Base-16 transceivers per RU,
streamlining structured cabling for large-scale 400 Gb, 800 Gb, and 1.6 Tb
deployments common in AI and hyperscale environments.
Unmatched flexibility and ease for network planners and techs
With six cassette variations and support for 8-, 12-, 16-, and 24-fiber formats, the
panel allows users to mix and match cassette types within a single row. And APP
supports up to 144 LC fiber connections per rack unit and even greater density
when deployed with VSFF connectors to maximize valuable space. Further, toolless cassette removal and a modular design simplify installation, upgrades, and
ongoing management, helping teams deploy faster, even when in-house
expertise is limited.
Engineered for real-world agility
• Supports traditional and small form factor adapters, including VSFF
connectors such as MDC, MMC, SN-MT, and CS
• Accommodates up to 72 adapters and 144 fibers per panel
• All-front or front-and-rear access configurations
• Enhanced rear cable management for cleaner, more serviceable racks
• Splice cassette availability
