DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Feature
Benefit
Full power to all ports
With all ports on the panel capable of delivering full
PoE power, there’s no need to load balance across
panels, design special wiring schemes or leave
ports unused in the panel.
Increased System Reliability
The
DPoE
™ Power Patch Panel does not use an
internal fan. Fans reduce the system reliability. In
addition, the eliminated need for separate
“midspan” patch panels increases the network
availability.
Simultaneous support for the Cisco powering
scheme along with the 802.3af-2003 standard
By supporting both methods on each port, the
DPoE
™ Power Patch Panel provides ultimate
flexibility without the need for separate panels for
each powering scheme and without the need to
install separate power modules.
Power Prioritization
In the event of low-power conditions, a NMS,
working in conjunction with the
DPoE
™ Power
Patch Panels, can use the pre-established port
priorities to ensure mission-critical ports on the
network of panels continue to receive PoE power as
long as possible.
Easier Local Management
Multi-colored LEDs on the
DPoE
™ Power Patch
Panel allow technicians to instantly know the status
of each port. Additional LEDs reflect management
and panel status. Identification labels on the front
and rear of the system allow the technician to note
the panel number, the port number and wiring
scheme information for both the Ethernet and PoE
sides of the panel.
Easier Remote Management
The optional
DPoE
™ Element Manager allows
network operators to easily view and manage a
network of
DPoE
™ Power Patch Panels using
industry-standard Simplified Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
Easier Installation
By eliminating the need for separate midspan patch
panels and the associated need for patch cord, in a
network-ready 1RU high package, The
DPoE
™
Power Patch Panel is fast and easy to install.
