The 8 Rack Space Cycle

 - 

Style B

Place two 24 port 1U 
switches as shown 
(Figure B) between two 
NP2K6 kits and two 24 port 
patch panels. Follow the 
numbering sequence shown 
in Figure B. The result is a 
neat, organized, contained 8 
rack space cycle (Figure B). 
Front vertical management 
is used for fiber links and 
allows the IT manager to 
patch up to 264 data ports 
neatly in a 7 foot rack 
(Figure A).
