Cable Management
NeatPatch NP2 Kit
Other Considerations:
The Neat Patch NP2K6 Kit offers some unique features that we looked at, and found to be
something to help recommend this system.
The first and foremost benefit is the cable bend management. For those of you who don't
know, ethernet cable has some very specific installation guidelines, some of which specify
the number of bends and tightness of a bend that a cable is allowed to make. Too tight a
bend, or too many bends can cause significant degradation of transmission capabilities.
The NP2 solution, with its 2 foot cables and single loop design for installing them is the
only bend compliant cable management system out there. For high performance networks
with Gig copper to the desktop this is incredibly important. Same with 100Mbps networks
- issues with cabling can be huge, and making sure you have a solid wireplant is a key to
making a solid network.
The bend radius of the 2 foot cable in the NP2 tray
One of the first things that strike you when working with the NP2 is the depth of the unit.
Even if you aren't using the 2 foot cables and rack layouts from the install guide, you can
use these units to help manage long cables around chassis switches or blade servers, or
even for coils of fiber.
