High-Density Patching
Many IT managers face physical space constraints, with limited room for additional
network infrastructure. High-density patch panels are an efficient way to increase
copper port density in racks. While standard patch panels oer 24 ports in one rack unit,
high-density panels can double that amount with 48 ports per rack unit. However, one
should factor in Cat 6A cable size when considering high-density panels, as too many
panels in a rack or cabinet may create unwanted congestion.
Angled panel designs can also consolidate rack space, as they allow for proper cable
bend radius without needing horizontal cable managers typically found above and below
traditional flat panels in the rack.
Enhance telecom room and data center organization
by color-coding connectors and patch cords. Choose
from several schemes, depending on application and
system management priorities:
• A/B switch fabric for data center redundancy
• Connectivity types such as WAN/corporate data,
LAN, engineering networks, voice, and more
• Campus location
• Company colors
