Conventional Networks Racks vs. Network Racks with PATCHBOX

Conventional Racks

Racks with PATCHBOX

Long & costly Downtimes

According to Gartner, a survey from 2014 showed that the average cost of IT downtimes is £4,400 per minute

Shorter Downtimes

Downtimes are very costly. The use of a PATCHBOX can already pay off from one downtime onwards, as it keeps maintenance and therefore downtimes short

Restricted or even no Overview

Up to 70 percent of network issues are caused due to poor cabling practices or poor components. The lack of overview and
tangled cables make maintenance difficult, but also lead to many other problems

Up to 50% More Space

In comparison to conventional cabling up to 50 % more rack space is available when using a PATCHBOX.

Bad Airflow

Due to bad airflow networking hardware can easily overheat. Constant tension from heavy cables clutters, and high temperatures in the server cabinet also lead to expensive hardware breaking faster

Better Airflow

Less cable overlength means fewer blockades for the airflow, ensuring your active components can breathe in fresh air and will last longer

Maintenance Takes Long

Many IT System Administrators complain about the lack of time, with strict deadlines and problems requiring an urgent response, as downtimes are costly

Up to 8x Faster

Maintenance, as well as installation, is up to eight times faster with the PATCHBOX, saving lots of time and money

No IT Security

Cable clutters often prevent the server cabinet door from being
closed. This is a big security hazard for companies as hardware
can be stolen and people can easily intrude the network

Toolless, Fast & Easy

Installation of the PATCHBOX is fast and easy. No tools are required and the cables are stored inside the cassette, which makes lack of storage room for cables a problem of the past.
