EDGE™ port replication housing is optimized to support storage area networks (SAN) and local area network (LAN) switches. When deployed in a cross-connect structured cabling solution, EDGE port replication housing provides one-to-one port management replication of high-density switches and SAN directors. Designed to mimic the director/switch port layout, EDGE port replication housing simplifies patching, as ports are easier to find and can be managed at a single administration point. Modular construction allows line card panels to be installed horizontally or vertically, and optional blank panels provide customization to match unique vendor equipment layouts.
