Why need use patch panel?

1、From the design point of view

Comprehensive wiring has a point requirement I wonder if you have noticed, that is, the information point requires data, voice points can be interchanged when necessary, that is to say, the same voice point, without changing the wiring through the choice of patch cords to determine whether it is voice or data. This is the same for voice and data points at the time of wiring, and the design is convenient and does not need to be considered separately, using a unified device.

If cost is not an important consideration, connect all the information points to the rj45 patch panel, and then decide whether to jump to the switch or voice patch panel (either 110's or stg's and other types of voice modules) by patch cords. Of course this is a design that does not take into account the cost, but also a design that completely does not take into account whether the terminal is voice or data. The actual applications are still very few. Most cases still consider the difference between voice and data, and there are many specific approaches.

2、From the construction point of view

Large-scale project information points are very large, the use of patch cord connection between the switching equipment and cabling system can be more convenient construction management, the cabinet will also be very neat, after all, the patch cord to be much shorter. Detection is also much more convenient.

3、Management and maintenance

This aspect is actually very concerned about large users, patch panel can effectively improve efficiency and reduce the time to check the error. For the replacement of the terminal use also provides a convenient and fast method.

What are the advantages of patch panel?

1. the traditional method of testing user lines to be completed by manual operation, after taking a centralized on-line mode can use the existing automatic test system for remote bureau user lines, thus realizing unattended or less manned.

2. take the centralized online microcomputer operation can be combined with the computer integrated management system to achieve automation of operations.

3. centralized on line can choose the shortest path near the jumper, only 2 - 3m can be, saving a lot of jumper cables. The traditional method jumper generally has more than 10 meters, or even dozens of meters.

4. in case of moving, changing the number and engineering backwards, the traditional method needs to remove a large number of patch cords, heavy work, patch panel card connection point by repeatedly card connection, will cause card point slack. Take the centralized on-line mode only microcomputer operation can be completed, reducing the wear and tear of the card connection point, extending the life of the patch panel, while also reducing the occurrence of obstacles.

5. the centralized on-line patch panel jumper once completed, to avoid the traditional method of multiple irregular jumper caused by confusion, so that the patch panel appearance beautiful and neat.

The above is why use patch panel, in fact, patch panel is commonly used to standardize the network cabling of a device, generally used in network installation (such as local area networks, etc.), and switch with the use of the installation in the cabinet.

The first thing to consider is the amount of fiber optic cable remaining: a certain amount of fiber optic cable should be retained to ensure that the fiber strength film is generated in the chassis of the distribution frame. This will prevent the fiber from being ripped out of the distribution frame, while avoiding excessive stress on the cable.

Next is its protection performance: fiber optic patch panels should provide sufficient protection for connectors to prevent accidental contact.

Lastly, its suitability: The fiber patch panel should be able to allow the removal of existing connectors and the addition of new connectors or fibers, and it must also be able to store and identify non-connector fibers from horizontal or backbone cables.
