Open patching frame
saves computer room space
IMpatch gives a future-proofed patching environment for both copper and fibre media
IMpatch, the latest development to be added to the innovative IMnet and IMserv family of dedicated networking enclosures from APW Enclosure Solutions, gives a future-proofed patching environment for both copper and fibre media. It extends the family's capabilities with the addition of an open frame design, which, because of the all-round access and lack of doors, saves significant computer room real estate compared with an enclosure.

Available in heights of 42U and 47U, the modular design of the IMpatch system enables it to be expanded as increased capacity is required.
On the patching side, regularly spaced front-facing cable hooks on both sides of the unit guide, separate and support the patch cables.
