Convenient network management: Network patch panels can facilitate network management, improve management efficiency, and reduce the occurrence of network failures. By gathering network cables to the patch panel and marking them, network equipment can be managed clearly to avoid disorderly wiring.
Improve system stability: The patch panel is the most important component in the management subsystem of the integrated wiring system. It is the hub for cross-connection of the two subsystems of vertical trunk and horizontal wiring, and the bridge for connecting network cables and network equipment. Through the patch panel, stable management of the network system can be achieved.
Reduce failure and maintenance costs: The use of patch panels can solve the problem of damage to switch ports caused by multiple plugging and unplugging of cables. By replacing jumpers, the network can be reconfigured quickly and flexibly. In addition, standardized marking and connection make it clear at a glance for system administrators to maintain and manage, making changes to network lines easier, thereby reducing labor costs.
Beautiful and easy to manage: The use of patch panels can make workrooms, equipment rooms and other places neat and orderly, avoiding the chaos of various cables. The labels are all on the patch panel, and there are fixed clips to ensure that the labels are kept for a long time, which is convenient for network operation and maintenance personnel to manage and maintain.
Adapt to various cable types: patch panels are usually installed in cabinets or walls, and can meet the needs of various cables such as UTP, STP, coaxial cable, optical fiber, audio and video through installation accessories. Commonly used patch panels in network engineering are twisted pair patch panels and optical fiber patch panels.
