Managing remote locations can be costly and time consuming when network problems occur due to cable failure or cable breaks. The INTELLAPATCH 32 gives network providers the ability to manage physical connections from one central location, reducing operations and labor intensive efforts needed to support these remote sites. The results are customers who receive faster action on their service calls and network providers who reduce overall operations cost for service support. With its ability to provide multicast and signal regeneration, the INTELLAPATCH 32 combined with a network analyzer is an effective, low-cost solution to monitoring network traffic. Administrators can remotely switch from a central location between network segments and actively monitor and analyze both directions of data. For seamless security, access control and management of your network infrastructure, APCON's INTELLAPATCH 32 provides the first layer of defense from any network to any network.
