Tired of cable spaghetti? Are you in need of a state-of-the-art network cabling system? Looking for an enterprise-grade, high-quality cabling system for networks and server racks? We’ve got you covered!
We understand that when it comes to data center and network rack maintenance, cable management is perhaps the most important consideration.
In this blog, we will decode everything you need to know about the PATCHBOX—from benefits to how to use it. Let’s get started.
What is the PATCHBOX and what are its benefits?
The PATCHBOX is a state-of-the-art cable management system that:
● Replaces conventional patch cords and vertical and horizontal cable management, providing the exact length of networking cables required.
● Helps accelerate rack maintenance, reducing downtime to a minimum.
● Helps build an efficient and sustainable IT working environment by preventing tangled network cables.
● Offers lightning-fast maintenance and installations by providing the exact length of patch cord required—every single time!
● Allows a higher density in your network rack than conventional methods, which means more gear in the same space without requiring the services of a cabling company.
The PATCHBOX cable management solution comes with everything you need to patch a 24-port switch to two patch panels, including specifically-designed mounting rails and the Patchcatch cable organizers and cassette identification labels.
How does the PATCHBOX work?
Looking to save money when it comes to cables? Consider investing in PATCHBOX. Let’s understand how the system works. Firstly, it is important to note that the PATCHBOX cable management solution consists of up to 24 modular cassettes containing ISO/IEC 11801 Class E certified patch cords. The cassette’s integrated pulley system ensures that any surplus or over-length patch cord is retracted and stowed away safely. In simpler words, the system retracts and stores unused LAN cables safely and ensures that they are ready when you need them.
As a bonus, you also get 96 individual cassette identification labels, which can be personalized with ease and effortlessly placed into each PATCHBOX cassette.
How to patch effectively?
To patch, follow these steps:
Step 1: Take the patch cable or patch cord and start patching furthest away from the PATCHBOX unit.
Step 2: For guiding a patch cord from A to B, only two patch catches are required.
Step 3: Tracing patch cords becomes simpler as patch cords only run horizontally and vertically. You need to simply pull on one end of a patch cord. You’ll immediately be able to see the other end moving, regardless of where it is in the rack. This significantly increases the productivity and accuracy of any maintenance task.
All in all, with PATCHBOX, no other conventional cable management system is required. If you’re a network administrator, you need to get your hands on the PATCHBOX and make your life easier. Synergy Micro Solutions is based out of Austria and is the official distributor for the United States. For more details, get in touch.
