With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing industry in recent years, its requirements for information storage and processing ability are increasingly high.
Industry services depend on the management and analysis of information. As a platform to support information application, data center will play an increasingly important role. Many users spend a lot of money to build new data centers, and the size and specifications of data centers are constantly expanding and improving. This puts forward higher requirements for data center management. Cable management, as the basis of data center network operation, is also an important part of data center system. How to better manage the wiring system of the data center, now more and more attention. In modern society, where people live, where there is production, transportation and all economic activities, where in the space, underground, ocean and other all need to explore and develop all activities, as well as any scientific and technological development and innovation project research activities, are inseparable from the cable management.
In the past, the wiring system of data center mainly adopts the connection mode of direct jumper.
From the port of one device to the port of another device, a duplex optical or copper jumper is used to connect directly, which requires little initial investment and no planning.
At first glance, it seems to be a relatively economical and effective choice, but with the rapid growth of the number of devices and ports, it is necessary to continuously increase the direct jumper between devices under the floor or on the overhead bridge on the basis of the existing wiring.
Soon, all the available space will be taken up by jumpers.
Therefore, the direct connection jumper mode, although relatively effective in the early stage, becomes very complicated, troublesome and accompanied by high risks in the later maintenance and expansion.
If the connection of the system needs to be changed, you need to open the device cabinet and plug or remove the connector of the active device. Otherwise, other connections and the system may be compromised. This may bring unpredictable risks.
How can this mess be avoided?
The answer is to use a structured wiring system, plus a good labeling system, and perfect document management. Structured data center cabling managed by Vichnet creates a channel through a distribution frame at either end of the cable through which we map ports on the device to a centralized wiring and management area.
In this way, the maintenance, management and upgrade of the cabling system can be isolated within the centralized area. Coupled with well-defined labels and managed documentation.
In this way, we no longer need to find the cable in the channel, only need to find the corresponding port on the distribution frame panel. This greatly simplifies the cable management and saves a lot of time.
