Growing demand for faster access to larger volumes of data, emerging high-speed network standards and rapidly advancing technology make it necessary to integrate equipment with different network speeds into your network infrastructure.
Modular patch panel solutions allow you to seamlessly and conveniently integrate equipment with 10 Gb, 40 Gb and 100/120 Gb speeds to meet your connectivity needs today – and cost-effectively future-proof your network for tomorrow.
Solutions support ANSI/TIA-942 structured network cabling standards for data centers and have three components: enclosure panels, cassettes and cables.
Enclosure panels mount in standard racks and house a range of modular, removable cassettes for fiber or copper connections.
High-Density Enclosure Panels for Fiber Cassettes | High-Density Enclosure Panels for Fiber/Copper Cassettes |
Compatibility with fiber installations | Compatibility with both fiber and copper installations |
1U enclosure panel for up to 5 cassettes (up to 60 Duplex LC ports) | 0U magnet-mount sleeve for 1 cassette |
2U enclosure panel for up to 14 cassettes (up to 168 Duplex LC ports) | 1U enclosure panel for up to 4 cassettes |
Cassettes are interchangeable between fiber enclosure panels | Cassettes are interchangeable between fiber/copper sleeve and enclosure panel |
Cassettes install in enclosure panels without tools. Screw tabs lock cassettes into place.
Cables connect devices to cassettes. Modular patch panel solutions use standard, readily available patch cables.
Seamlessly migrate and distribute bandwidth from 100/200 Gb to 40 Gb to 10 Gb.
