A fiber optic patch panel is a device used to manage fiber optic cables by providing a central location for connecting and organizing incoming and outgoing fiber optic cables. Here's a general overview of how to use a fiber optic patch panel:

Determine the location for the fiber optic patch panel. Choose a secure and accessible area that is close to the fiber optic cables that you need to connect.

Install the patch panel. The patch panel should be securely mounted to a wall or rack. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.

Route the incoming fiber optic cables to the patch panel. The cables should be neatly arranged and labeled.

Strip the fiber optic cables as needed to expose the fibers for termination.

Connect the fibers to the patch panel ports. Each fiber should be carefully cleaned and inserted into the appropriate port. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for termination.

Test the connections. Use a fiber optic tester to ensure that the connections are properly made and the fibers are working as expected.

Organize the fibers. Use cable ties or other means to organize the fibers and prevent them from becoming tangled or damaged.

Label the ports. Label each port on the patch panel so that it is easy to identify which cable is connected to each port.

Document the installation. Keep a record of the installation, including any testing results, labeling information, and other relevant details.

Following these steps can help ensure that your fiber optic patch panel is installed correctly and functioning as expected. If you are not experienced in fiber optic cabling, it may be helpful to consult a professional for assistance.
