"This adaptability allows organizations to tailor their connectivity solutions to meet specific requirements and optimize rack space, ensuring swift, cost-effective, and efficient deployment for your critical connectivity."
LightVerse Copper/Fiber Combo Patch Panels include an innovative six-port copper adapter plate, which supports effortless population of copper connections within the panel and is available as a separate item to support field terminations, or as a pre-terminated trunk option to help you deliver your copper connections ultra-fast. This approach simplifies the deployment of new network infrastructure or the scaling of existing connections, allowing spaces to be blocked off with blanking plates and gradually populated as needed. Recognizing the importance of rapid and efficient installations, Siemon offers a range of high-quality copper and fiber pre-terminated trunks. Factory-terminated connectors and pre-tested solutions enable these trunks to be installed up to 75% faster than traditional methods, empowering users to deploy critical connections with confidence and minimize downtime.
