PATCH BY EXCEPTION - HOW DOES IT WORK? Patch-By-Exception is a solution whereby you hard wire your network and make subsequent changes utilising patch cords. The diagram shows a patch cord changing the input from workstation one to workstation two. The cord disconnects the jumpers leading to workstation one and re-directs the signal through the patch cord to workstation two. To go back to the original configuration, simply remove the patch cord. If the change is to be made permanent, a cabling specialist can be called in to hard wire the configuration and the removed patch cord can be reused for other temporary changes. Permanent services are hardwired rather than patched Data side frame does not need to be co-located with active equipment Category 5 or 6 cable is used instead of patch cords. Extensive labelling options 19 inch racks are not required. Capacity for mounting with existing LSA modules Testing convenience This provides a neat and tidy cable management solution and allows for greater flexibility of wiring arrangements and superior reliability. Reduces cabinet and floor space requirements and costs. Is particularly effective with high density Telco connectorised hubs which allows further cabinet space reductions. This method is more cost effective as jumper cable is cheaper than the equivalent length of patch cord. Performance is enhanced due to the lower attenuation of jumper cable and the elimination of one plug and socket in the channel. More information can be displayed on the modules reducing the need to refer to other documentation. Makes this solution cost effective as '19 inch' racks are more expensive. Fits in shallow wall recesses or closets. Cost Reduction. Suspected faulty hub or PABX ports can be tested or rerouted to locate problems without losing the underlying patch.
