Industrial patch panel industry first

Belden has introduced a new Modular Industrial Patch Panel (MIPP) to its Belden and Hirschmann product lines that achieves what the company claims is a new first for the industry. The MIPP, which is a termination panel for cables that need to be connected to active equipment such as switches, industrial Ethernet devices and any other device with an Ethernet link, combines copper and fibre management into one solution. This makes installation quick and easy, saving time and significantly reducing set-up cost

5970 Belden has introduced a new Modular Industrial Patch Panel (MIPP) to its Belden and Hirschmann product lines that achieves what the company claims is a new first for the industry. The MIPP, which is a termination panel for cables that need to be connected to active equipment such as switches, industrial Ethernet devices and any other device with an Ethernet link, combines copper and fibre management into one solution. This makes installation quick and easy, saving time and significantly reducing set-up costs. At the same time, the functionality of the new MIPP contributes to greater reliability and easier and more efficient system management that requires less maintenance.

Using patchcords to connect to active equipment, cables can be terminated outside the cabinet in an organised and structured manner to ensure the highest level of reliability. Installation is quick and easy, saving time and significantly reducing initial set-up costs. At the same time, the MIPP contributes to greater reliability with easier and more efficient system management that requires less maintenance.

With a lightweight aluminum structure that increases its overall versatility, the MIPP easily mounts on a DIN Rail or on the sides of cabinets using a wall mount plate. The small housing, high port density and modularity keep cabinet space to a minimum.
