Overview Of DIN Rail Fiber Optic Patch Panel

By Lucia Weeks


The wiring of patchbay is designed so as to group together in a logical manner, by the type and use, all wiring connected, so that it is easy to test them, monitor them or interconnect, with a greater flexibility of use with respect to a fixed installation. Disconnecting electric utilities, for connections to a plant's theatrical stage lights (DIN Rail Fiber Optic Patch Panel).

In turn, in a form to complete normalization can take the signal without interrupting transit. A forcing of output signal, however, the interrupt. In case of a module seminormalizzato instead, a rope is inserted into an input output will interrupt the transit of signal. For the benefit of matrix, there is the fact that each signal can be sent to any destination without any limit to amount of times it is used, while the patchbay is inevitably limited by the availability of multiple copies of a signal, in typically from a distributor but nonetheless present in a limited number of copies.

With the matrix, it is also possible to realize switching more quickly and without interrupting the signal, while the patchbay requires a certain time of physical intervention on the panels and the interruption in signal between a connection and the other. For the benefit of patchbay, there are the much lower cost, reliability and transit totally passive transit signal, regardless from the power supply and the proper functioning of any electronic device.

In building technology patchbays (there usually referred to as patchbay) used to interconnect all distributed over a larger area terminal connections to a central point can. To facilitate handling and to increase the clarity, patchbays, certain signaling pathways have pre-configured internally connected without plugging the cable.

Serial connections for control interfaces, with solder terminals and cords that often use multi-core cables with RJ45 connectors. Various types of parallel connections for general purposes. Connections are often solder or insulation, and the strings multipolar. The patchbay more sophisticated have a modular structure: on each panel are mounted on rear side of modules that receive two cable sections and on FRONT have two overlapping holes corresponding to two sections.

The fibers are widely used in telecommunications, allowing large amount of data sent over a long distance, with similar radio and superior to those of conventional cable speeds. Are the transmission medium par excellence, to be immune to electromagnetic interference, and are also used for local networks where you need to take advantage of optical fiber over other transmission media.

Naturally it is not possible to cross between them two types of different signals. As a general rule, although it is not a fixed rule, the top line of panel receives incoming connections to patchbay (and then the outputs of machines), while the lower sends outgoing connections (and therefore to inputs machines ).

It has many other advantages such as low signal loss, reduced size and weight, immunity to electromagnetic and radio frequency emissions and safety. As a result of studies focused on optical physics, a new method of use for light called laser beam was discovered.
