Phy-FiXX™ Phy-FiXX™
576 Channel Scanner
Description
Phy-FiXX™ is a revolutionary and advanced physical layer management suit providing enterprises with the ability to manage their Physical Layer infrastructure with a level of visibility & integration unique in the structured cabling industry. Using a combination of software, electronics and structured cabling products, Phy-FiXX™ enables users to track and manage their investment from planning through to design, procurement, installation, moves, adds and changes (MACs) and the eventual upgrade of the infrastructure, thereby spanning its entire lifecycle.
Phy-FiXX™ scanners monitor activity on a Phy-FiXX™ enabled system. Each 1U scanner can be connected to up to 48 patch panels providing monitoring of up to 576 separate physical channels. Standard RJ45 patch cords are used as the data bus connection between scanners and patch cords.
Phy-FiXX™ scanners can be configured and activated independently of the software. When the Phy-FiXX™ application software is connected to the scanner, the scanner“discovers” active hardware and devices on the network and uploads this information onto the Phy-FiXX™ application software. Scanners monitor the connection state of Phy-FiXX™ channels and pass state change data to the Phy-FiXX™ application software. This triggers Phy-FiXX™’s smart polling function which queries the specific outlet and updates the software. In the event that the Phy-FiXX™ application cannot communicate with a scanner, the scanner records transactions in a queue for later delivery to the Phy-FiXX™ software. Scanners recover from power outages without requiring reconfiguration. Phy-FiXX™ scanners consume little power, which can be critical in power-hungry environments such as Data Centers.

Accessories
Each scanner is supplied with one International 19-inch mounting kit.
A standard IEC 60320 power cord (comprising a power plug and C13 Plug/outlet) is required but not included.
