Method and apparatus for patch panel patch cord documentation and revision
Jack E. Caveney,Ronald A. Nordin +1 more
- 12 Feb 2007
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus are provided for monitoring and reporting cable connectivity such as patch panel port-level connectivity on a real-time basis. But the approach is based upon a distributed architecture that may be modularly scalable and may reduce, if not eliminate, the need for a centralized signal processor and complex cabling between patch panels and the central signal processor.
