Connecting Racks within a Telecomms Room

The simplest configurationa Stand-Alone Tracing System
This system consists of one or more iPatch Panels and a Rack Manager for each rack Each Rack Manager is connected to the Rack Manager LAN Once connected, all racks function like they are a single piece of equipment Communications between the Rack Managers is over the Rack Manager LAN

Additional Design Considerations

31

Interconnect vs Cross-connect
Interconnect Design
Hub & Switch (equipment) ports are non-sensing Limits control and ability to monitor only one end of the patch Patching is confirmed at the equipment by an NM/RM request to confirm with a 2 second button press at the iPatch panel end
Equipment Rack Blue Horizontal field

32

Interconnect vs Cross-connect
Cross-connect Design
Hub & Switch ports hard patched to the back of the iPatch equipment field Allows for ability to monitor and control both ends of the patch cord Improved cable management but additional equipment field costs Purple Blue
