Product Information

Scalability: once installed a panel with sufficient ports allows new cables and to be plugged-in and new connections made to the network.

Cables can be rested on cable trays and routed around the server cabinet. These rarely have a ring or loop like cable managers but often have gaps or vents that help to prevent overheating. Patch panels connect IT servers, accessories and components together and can be found within many different types of network-related installations. Examples include IT closets, computer rooms, server rooms, and datacentres. Telephone systems provide a further example as they move from a traditional telecom switch to Voice over IP (VoIP) and Cloud-based services. Why Do You Need Patch Panels? by purpose – one color is for cables that connect user equipment, and another shade is for wires that ensure the operation of a server cabinet directly (internal wiring).

Besides looking unsightly, a tangled bunch of cables in a server room can jeopardize a network. Outages, downed systems, data transmission errors — even overheating or fires can occur with power cables. Problems that will need to be fixed sooner than later, so why risk it? Taking a small amount of time to plan an organized cable system is worth it — to everyone.

Cable trays are either made of plastic or metal. The plastic cable management is made of plastic, so its durability is poor, after a period of time, the cable manager may deform because of the pressure of too much cable, Or happened color loss, and sometimes even degradation because of sunlight. The metal cable management is stronger, the use of the above situation will not occur. Overall, metal cable trays are safer and more durable. Why it is important to use cable management?To begin with, let’s look at basic performance. Most people are vaguely aware that cables can interfere with each-other. If you’ve ever installed a speaker system, for example, you know how important it is to properly isolate your wires. But the greatest potential for interference comes when you mix power and data cables. The reason is that data cables themselves are low-voltage. In most cases, they don’t produce enough of an electromagnetic field to create interference. Power cables, on the other hand, can create a lot of noise in your data. With a good cable management system, you can keep your power and data cables completely separate.
