The difference between traditional patch panels and smart patch panels

With more and more applications on the Internet, the amount of data that needs to be processed is increasing, and the equipment required by the computer room is also increasing. However, the area of ​​the equipment room is fixed. With the continuous increase of cables, many network administrators are faced with dense cable racks and limited space in the equipment room. How can the machine room be neat and the wiring design be organized?

The disadvantage of the conventional patch panel <br> <br> original wiring room uses a traditional patch panels, see the complicated structure chaotic room, do not know where to start, to replace the traditional distribution frame imperative. The traditional distribution frame has many shortcomings, it is inconvenient to maintain, and it will bring security risks. Here are some points:

1, not intuitive.

Most of the traditional patch panels are paper, and the paper quality is uneven. Labels are handwritten and organic; colored, black and white; need to open the cabinet close to see clearly. If the time is long, due to the environmental reasons of the engine room, such as artificial wear and air humidity, the labels will become more difficult to identify and cause inconvenience to managers.

2, inconvenient to maintain.

All the patch panel ports need to be tagged and the workload is high. Secondly, it is inconvenient to find and change during maintenance. If you want to jump, first check the file, find the port to jump, that is, a row, a column on the corresponding cabinet. Also, label stickers are easy to drop, dirty, and old, leading to inconvenient search and wasting a lot of time and manpower.

3, security risks and more.

The cables are complex and lack of planning, which can easily block the hot and cold channels and seriously affect the cooling and cooling of the equipment room. There is no safe and reliable implementation of cabling wiring, increasing the possibility of faults and downtime.

As an ordinary computer room manager, the above issues need to be solved in the face of the requirements for the upgrade of equipment room expansion. Wiring is becoming an important infrastructure for enterprises. Companies also put forward more requirements and requirements for intelligent wiring systems used for wiring management. It is hoped that smart wiring systems can ensure the security of enterprise information flow while reducing the cost of the company's hardware facilities.

Intelligent electronic patch panel + labor management <br> <br> with large-scale wiring construction, wiring requirements for standardized management increasingly high, so start the introduction of a number of criteria. The most famous of these are the telecommunications cabling standards for commercial buildings developed by the American Electronics Industry Association and the American Telecommunications Industry Association, namely ANSl/EIA/TIA-568. In order to meet the standards, smart wiring management technology continues to develop, and electronic distribution frame technology has emerged and gradually applied. When the equipment room was updated, we chose to use the intelligent wiring management technology of the electronic distribution frame. It has the following features and advantages:

Real-time - Avoid administrative latency logic - Avoid administrative inefficiencies - Avoid excessive investment in human resources Security - Detect intrusion of rogue devices Electronic wiring rack Intelligent wiring system Traditional wiring systems Associated with intelligent management, through the intelligent wiring system of the electronic distribution frame, the network connection architecture and its changes are automatically transmitted to the system management software. The management system processes the received implementation information, and the user can query the management system to Always understand the latest structure of the wiring system. Through the electronic management of all management elements, intuitive, real-time and efficient paperless management can be achieved.

Using the intelligent wiring system of the electronic distribution frame, the management of the equipment room can be realized with a small amount of manual management. After the redeployment, the network cables in the equipment room are neat, and data entry and changes need only be performed on the computer and the database is refreshed, which saves administrators a lot of tedious work and is more flexible.

The rapid development of information technology summary <br> <br> for traditional patch panels powerless, how to achieve low-cost, high-efficiency engine room management is one of the important business issues to consider. The use of an electronic smart + manual managed patch panel management method not only makes the wiring more neat and manageable, but also reduces potential safety hazards, has higher efficiency, and achieves high security while bringing economic benefits.
