Section 1 – PViQ™ Connectivity System
Overview
PViQ™ Connectivity Hardware
The Panduit PViQ™ Connectivity Hardware System consists of a patch field and
intelligent modules. The patch panels/trays have 24 data ports and occupy 1 Rack Unit
(RU) space in a standard rack or cabinet. The intelligent modules are removeable
modules that plug into the back of the patch field panels/trays, eliminating the need for
additional RU space for the intelligent connectivity system.
Patch Field Hardware
There are two types of patch field hardware. The PViQ™ Connectivity Patch Panel and
the PViQ™ Connectivity Fiber Tray. There are several variants to each of these two
types of patch fields.
PViQ™ Connectivity Patch Panel
The Patch Panel may be ordered as a copper panel or a fiber panel. Copper or fiber is
programmed at the factory and may not be changed. A copper panel is available as
either flat or angled. A copper flat panel may be ordered as shielded or unshielded. The
copper angled panel may be ordered as shielded or unshielded. The fiber panel is
available as a flat panel only. However, the Fiber Panel is available in single mode or
multimode with LC type data connections or with MPO type data connections.
