Siemon Launches Copper/Fiber Combo Network Patch Panel
Watertown, CT (PRWEB) June 13, 2014 -- Siemon, a leading global network infrastructure specialist, has launched a new mixed media patch panel. The 1U ‘Copper/Fiber Combo Panel’ allows copper outlets to be mixed with fiber ports in the same rack mount space to efficiently maximize rack space utilization.
According to Siemon, the new ‘Combo’ panel offers exceptional versatility and density, making it ideal for any situation where space is limited. It is compatible with all Siemon plug and play metal (PPM) fiber modules and metal fiber adapter plates, accepting up to four fiber modules or adapter plates within its 1U height. Each copper adapter plate fits up to six copper outlets with individual port identification and accommodates both shielded and unshielded copper systems, from category 5e to Siemon’s high performance category 7A TERA and category 6A Z-MAX outlets.
Constructed of lightweight high strength steel with anodized black finish, the Combo Panel is robust and, like all Siemon products, is designed to be installer-friendly. It is ANSI/EIA 310-D compliant with an integrated grounding strip to ensure proper ground path from copper outlets to grounding point. The design includes integrated cable management features to secure cables in order to provide proper strain relief and the panel is supplied complete with tie-wraps, grounding kit, and mounting screws.
Enthusiastically introducing the panel to an international audience, Brian McCaffrey, product manager of Siemon declared, “The Combo Panel efficiently utilizes rack mount space to maximize density. By accommodating a range of fiber and copper combinations, it provides considerable flexibility and choice for those designing cabling infrastructure. Designed with installation and easy operation as a priority, the panel has many features that improve accessibility and safeguard fiber and copper performance. This unique panel is sure to be of great value in the data center and in any other environment where space is at a premium.”
