Running an IT network is challenging. How would things be different if you could eliminate blind spots and have 20/20 vision into your physical infrastructure? What if you could have knowledge of every move made in your network? Combining SYSTIMAX® iPatch® intelligent copper patch panels and fiber optic shelves with infrastructure operations software and control systems, SYSTIMAX Intelligent Infrastructure Solutions are more than just hardware they are comprehensive, fully-supported solutions that give you control of your physical infrastructure.

As part of the SYSTIMAX 360 solutions platform, SYSTIMAX 360 "iPatch-ready" copper panels and 360G2 1U Modular Fiber shelf can be upgraded in the field at a later stage with the 360 iPatch Upgrade Kit. The upgrade can be performed without network disruptions, since it does not require the removal of patch cords. The SYSTIMAX 360 solution offers customers the option to deploy intelligence immediately or in phases, according to their needs and budgetary requirements. By providing a clear strategy that includes an upgradeable product line, CommScope intends to bring intelligence to the masses and raise awareness of the business benefits of intelligent infrastructures.

The SYSTIMAX 360 iPatch 1100GS3 panels are factory assembled and tested and offer a trace button and LED for every port.

The SYSTIMAX 360 iPatch G2 High Density Fiber Shelf supports up to three iPatch G2 High Density pre-terminated InstaPATCH Plus modules for a total of 72 duplex LC ports (144 fibers) in a 2U footprint. The sliding shelf features the elegant SYSTIMAX 360 design and the alpha/beta module polarity orientation can be auto-detected and reported to System Manager software.

The SYSTIMAX® 360 iPatch® Panel Manager has a reduced footprint with increased density, offers redundant power capability and provides significant savings over Rack Manager Plus.

Control systems tie the iPatch intelligent panels to the infrastructure operations software. Each rack with iPatch intelligent panels is equipped with a control system, such as an iPatch Panel Manager, which monitors the status of every port in every iPatch panel. Connectivity updates are sent to the infrastructure operations software, which contains a continuously updated database of connectivity information.

These control systems also provide technicians with a user interface. For tracing existing connections, the iPatch Panel Manager displays end-to-end connectivity information, including not only the location of patch cords, but the devices connected on either end of the circuit.
