MIPP: The Industrial Fiber Splice Box

Copper Patch Panel

Termination and Patching Mix or MPO Patching

Solution
The MIPP is designed for harsh
environments, where its robust
construction and high port density with
multiple connector types make it ideal
for installation in industrial networks.
 Robust industrial quality Hirschmann’s Modular Industrial Patch Panel (MIPP) is a robust and
versatile termination panel for both fiber and copper cables that need to
offers long-term stability be connected from operating environment to active equipment. Easily
for performance-critical installed on any standard 35 mm DIN Rail, MIPP features high port-density
ethernet applications, to meet expanding network connectivity needs within limited space.
MIPP is Hirschmann's high-quality solution for performance-critical Industrial
delivering peace of mind Ethernet Applications.
to network engineers and
system installers. Robust Quality
The durable MIPP panels are constructed of lightweight, high strength
aluminium, securely protecting copper and optical fiber connections
under the harshest industrial conditions. The housing is able to withstand
temperatures from -20 °C to +70 °C and is resistant to shocks and vibrations.
The patch panel's industrial quality guarantees a secure termination point
for reliable industrial Ethernet connectivity.

Fiber, Copper, Both

MIPP comes as either a Fiber Splice Box, Copper Patch Panel, Mix or MPO
Patching Cassette. Where both fiber and copper cables are needed together
the design enables simply connecting both to a single panel. MIPP allows
flexible network design for network engineers and flexible patching for
system installers.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

The smart housing design allows quick and flexible installation of the MIPP
on a DIN Rail or a wall. Maintenance is equally easy, since the modules can
be individually removed without dismantling the MIPP from the DIN Rail or wall
mount. Just take out the modules that need work and save precious time.

Save Space
Hirschmann knows the importance of cabinet space in industrial sites.
Continuous growth of system networks requires smart use of the existing
space. MIPP is designed to fit. Thanks to its narrow housing design the
required space is kept to a minimum. With three cable entry points (top
and bottom) there is no need for special cabinet design or positioning.

Best Fit
MIPP is the reliable solution for connecting Belden cables and
Hirschmann switches.

5 Reasons Why MIPP Is the

Dependable Industrial Termination
and Patching Solution

1. Robustness: durable UL certified (UL 1863) solution for linking Wind tower
Hirschmann switches to Belden cabling with a guaranteed lifetime installation application
of well over 10 years.
2. Versatility: suitable in nearly any industrial application where fiber
splicing, copper termination or both are required. A single MIPP
allows for termination and patching of:
• up to 72 fiber cables: MIPP Fiber Splice Box
• up to 24 copper cables: MIPP Copper Patch Panel
3. Ease of use: mounted on a DIN Rail or wall, any module can be
individually extracted from the housing for maintenance actions.
4. Future proof: simply swap modules to meet new network
demands or add blind modules at initial installation.
5. Save space and cost: high port density and multiple cable
entry points.

* A blind module is a blanking plate with no cut-outs, for future proof.
