Software to automate cable management
NORDX/CDT and iTracs Corp have formed a strategic partnership combining a technology licence and distribution agreement
NORDX/CDT will license, manufacture, market and distribute iTracs intelligent structured cabling management systems. This includes iTracs enabled or compatible NORDX/CDT hardware consisting of patch panels, cords and iTracs Analyser active monitoring equipment. The iTracs software monitors the hardware to self-discover the network topology in data centres, communications rooms and wiring closets; automatically detects both authorised and unauthorised changes; uses patent-pending technology to quickly pinpoint wiring trouble spots; alerts IT staff to problems via alarms, e-mails, pages, user-defined scripts and/or photos; and issues work orders or trouble tickets to initiate corrective action.

All iTracs circuitry is isolated from the network, ensuring that the system does not impact data flow or network performance.
"The impact of LANs on enterprises is growing year after year; the emergence of applications such as IP telephony make these LANs simply mission critical", explains Marc Laporte, Sales and Marketing Vice-President for NORDX/CDT.
"Recognising these technology shifts, NORDX/CDT has decided to complement its IBDN product line with an automated cable management system that provides a complete standards based solution as well as a retrofit capability to the market.
