SmartPatch Fibre Patch Panels

Smart Patch panels are fully compliant with the perfomance requirements of the latest standards and are incorporated into the Brand-Rex 25 year warranty scheme. Each panel is equipped with extra pins, circuitry, LED’s and scanner connectors to allow the monitoring and recording of patching status. This information is
communicated back to the server via scanner attachment cords to the scanner system and onto the LAN. The LEDs above each port are used to trace connectivity
or to offer patching guidance to the engineer.

What is SmartPatch?

SmartPatch is a highly advanced overlay system that allows network managers the opportunity to have real time visibility of network connectivity and utilisation. The system provides simple and controlled management and recording of common network changes such as those forced by office moves and terminal additions. Referred to as an Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIMS), SmartPatch also gives multi-site businesses the tools to effectively monitor and manage all sites from a central location.

Principles of Operation

SmartPatch uses a combination of software and hardware to monitor and manage physical network connections. A topologyof scanners and intelligent patch panels, send and receive connectivity updates into the SmartPatch for the Enterprise (SP4E) software application, providing real-time data and automatically updated records. The software element of SmartPatch not only allows the monitoring and management of physical connectivity, the availability of a fully developed SDK means that the benefits of accurate, real time information can also be integrated into most commonly available network, facilities, configuration and helpdesk management applications.
