Technische Daten

  • System architecture

    Patchcassettes (with RFID + LED) → Analyzer (per cabinet) → Agent (HTTP/REST server, browser UI)

  • Per-cabinet Analyzer capacity

    Up to 14 fully equipped system components

  • Component interconnect

    Daisy-chain bus cable (PatchAssist System Bus, PASB)

  • Network connection

    Ethernet (one per Analyzer)

  • Protocols

    PASB (intra-cabinet), PAAP (Analyzer↔Agent), standardized AIM protocol (Agent↔third-party DCIM)

  • Web UI compatibility

    All current browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, etc.)

  • Konformität

    ISO/IEC 18598; DIN EN 50667

  • RFID port detection

    Unique connector ID read at each port, both ends of coupling

  • Visualization

    Per-port LED + Analyzer colored display

  • Patchcassette compatibility

    CommScope FIST

  • Unterstützte Adaptertypen

    E2000, SC simplex, LC duplex (LC under development)

  • Pre-assembled patchcables

    E2000/APCsx, SC/APCsx, LC/APCsx — Grade B, 4.9 m or 5.9 m with RFID tags

Hauptmerkmale

  • Real-time port detection

    Each port has a tag reader that detects plugged connections immediately and signals the unique cable identification number to the Agent — modifications and unauthorized changes are documented without delay.

  • LED-guided patch orders

    Per-port LEDs visualize planned patch orders defined in the NOC; technicians see which ports are affected and complete jobs quickly and error-free.

  • Retrofittable to FIST

    Drop-in PatchAssist Patchcassettes replace CommScope FIST components without disconnecting live links and without maintenance windows.

  • Standards compliant

    Conforms to ISO/IEC 18598 (AIM) and DIN EN 50667 — non-proprietary integration into AIM/DCIM applications via HTTP/REST.

  • Browser-based UI

    Agent serves a web UI compatible with all current browsers — manage analyzers, sub-racks, cassettes and ports, view system and alarm events from anywhere.

  • Intelligente Staubschutzkappen

    Dust caps with RFID tags identify unconnected ports so inventory and capacity stay accurate even when nothing is plugged in.

  • Scalable architecture

    Up to 14 system components per Analyzer; each component daisy-chained via bus cable. Multiple Analyzers feed one Agent.

  • Pre-assembled RFID patch cables

    Grade B patchcables in E2000/APC, SC/APC and LC/APC, 4.9 m and 5.9 m lengths, pre-fitted with RFID tags.
