New Patch Panels For AMPTRAC IIMS System

Tyco Electronics has introduced enhancements to the patch-panel components of the AMPTRAC Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIMS).

As part of a continuous programme of development of the AMPTRAC Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIMS), Tyco Electronics has introduced a number of enhancements to the patch-panel components of this system Traditionally, the active monitoring of patch-panel ports has required the addition of a 24-pin input/output connector to the design of the patch panel and within the wiring of cabinets and racks

The new approach removes the need for this connector by introducing a sensor contact that provides a 110 punch-down to terminate the wires of the input/output cable.

These wires are supplied as a 'pigtail' equipped with an I/O connector at the far end to allow connectivity with AMPTRAC analysers.

These new AMPTRAC patch panels are available in Enhanced Category 5 and Category 6 versions.

They are fully compliant with the Class E link and channel performance requirements, and also exceed the more stringent de-embedded testing requirements of the EIA/TIA 568B.2-1 specification.

Both patch panels utilise a modular design comprising 24 modular SL jacks.

These developments represent a considerable improvement in the reliability and performance of the intelligent capability of these panels within the IIMS system.
