MapIT G2 Hardware Installation Training Manual

Example 3:
In the example below each rack has 40 24-port Patch panels. In this scenario each
DCP (in light blue) can support 3 racks (a total of 120 panels). There are a total of 18
racks (total of 66 panels). You would need 6 DCPs to accommodate all the panels in
this patch zone. The MCP can be located anywhere in this patch zone as long as any
individual cable connecting it to
a DCP is no longer than 200’. The MCP could support
up to 18 more DCPs, so there is plenty of room for expansion in this example.
MapIT G2 Patch Zone Sizing and Capacity Planning
When creating a design from your site survey, there are many decisions to be made
based on customer specifications and needs. The type and number of units used can
vary depending upon the following criteria:
•
Real-estate space
available in the rack or cabinet
•
The
number of panels
to be monitored initially in each patch zone
•
The
expected port growth
in each patch zone
•
The
maximum length of MapIT G2 Control Bus cables and MapIT G2 Patch
Cables
