Phy-FiXX™ Modular Managed
Category 5e Unshielded RJ45
Copper Patch Panels
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.
HCS Phy-FiXX™ Category 5e Unshielded Patch Panels are used within the Phy-FiXX™ System. Each 1U 24 Port Patch Panel has one data bus connection port located on the rear of the panel. The data bus connection port connects the panel to the Phy-FiXX™ scanner via a standard RJ45 patch cord. The patch panel is used by the Phy-FiXX™ system to track connectivity in the patch zone and work area. LED status indicators on the panel show status of connectivity between the panel and the scanner and also provide panel guidance for work orders.
The patch panel works as a conventional patch panel when not connected to the Phy-FiXX™ system. All Phy-FiXX™ patch panels fully conform to and provide a substantial margin above all ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC-11801 (2nd Edition) Category 5e component requirements. The HCS Phy-FiXX™ Logo and the DataLink 100e Trademark ensure long lasting high-performance and full support of most present applications.
