fibre optic patch panel or splicing panel


Explanation:
Given the small amount of source text, this is what I thought. (Note that 'fibre' can also be 'fiber'. It depends on which English speaking country this translation is for.)

Also, possibly 128 FO - 128 fibre count
4 - 4 trays??
spl32 - splice 32

neutral  Tony M: Specifically NOT 'splice'! With fibre optics, 'splicing' is a very specific technique, quite separate from the totally different action of 'patching'
