Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network patch panel technology, and in particular to a network patch panel. Background Technology
[0002] In modern communication network systems, patch panels serve as crucial cabling equipment, undertaking the critical task of connecting network devices and terminal equipment. With the continuous development of communication technology, data centers and various communication equipment rooms have increasingly higher demands for patch panels, requiring not only high strength and reliability but also ease of installation and maintenance.
[0003] Traditional network patch panels often require the use of hundreds of cables. Since these panels are typically thin, the weight of the cable can easily cause them to bend and deform, affecting their normal operation and the stability of the equipment. Furthermore, maintaining traditional patch panels is complex; if even one patch panel fails, the entire patch panel often needs to be replaced, resulting in wasted time and money.
[0004] To address the above issues, we have introduced a network patch panel. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a network patch panel, which aims to solve the technical problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A network patch panel includes a patch panel body, on which mounting slots are equidistantly spaced, and grooves are formed on both sides of the corresponding mounting slots. Two sliding slots are symmetrically formed on the patch panel body, one of which has symmetrically spaced adjustment holes. An upper fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the patch panel body between the two corresponding mounting slots, and two lower fixing plates are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the patch panel body below the corresponding upper fixing plates. The lower fixing plates cooperate with the upper fixing plates.
[0008] Multiple patch panel bodies can be used together by installing the upper fixing plate of one patch panel body between the lower fixing plate of another patch panel body and connecting them with screws. This allows multiple patch panel bodies to be connected and assembled, thereby increasing the strength of the patch panel bodies. When used in a wider cabinet, it can effectively prevent the patch panel bodies from bending.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, each of the mounting slots contains a patch panel, each patch panel has a network cable port equidistantly spaced on its surface, and both sides of the patch panel have protrusions that cooperate with the grooves.
[0010] Place the patch panel into the mounting slot and install it into the slot using screws. This allows for individual replacement of the patch panel module should a fault occur.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, each of the sliding grooves is symmetrically slidably connected with a sliding rod, and a mounting bracket is fixedly connected between one end of each pair of sliding rods. The mounting bracket is configured as a U-shaped structure, and each of the sliding rods has a fixing hole, and each mounting bracket has a mounting hole.
[0012] The mounting bracket can be moved by the sliding rod, which can accommodate cabinets of different widths. The mounting bracket is installed through the mounting holes, and then screws are screwed into the fixing holes and adjustment holes to fix and limit the mounting bracket to the patch panel body.
[0013] The network patch panel provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. Connect multiple patch panel bodies to each other via the top fixing plate and the bottom fixing plate, and fix them with screws to enhance the strength of the patch panel and prevent bending when used in a wide cabinet. This setting can prevent the patch panel from bending due to long-term use.
[0015] 2. Place the patch panel into the mounting slot and fix it in the groove with screws to achieve a modular setup. The modular patch panel design makes it easy to replace the patch panel individually.
[0016] 3. The mounting bracket can be moved by the sliding rod to accommodate racks of different widths, and it can be fixed by the mounting holes. Screws are then screwed into the fixing holes and adjustment holes to achieve fixation and limit. This design allows the device to adapt to racks of different widths. Attached Figure Description

[0024] This utility model discloses a network patch panel.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a network patch panel includes a patch panel body 100. Mounting slots 110 are equidistantly provided on the patch panel body 100. Grooves 120 are provided on both sides of the corresponding mounting slots 110. Two sliding grooves 140 are symmetrically provided on the patch panel body 100. Adjustment holes 150 are symmetrically and equidistantly provided on one of the sliding grooves 140. An upper fixing plate 130 is fixedly connected to the top of the patch panel body 100 between the two corresponding mounting slots 110. Two lower fixing plates 160 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the patch panel body 100 below the corresponding upper fixing plates 130. The lower fixing plates 160 cooperate with the upper fixing plates 130.
[0026] In this embodiment, multiple patch panel bodies 100 are used in conjunction. The upper fixing plate 130 on the top of one patch panel body 100 is installed between the lower fixing plate 160 on the bottom of another patch panel body 100 and connected by screws. This allows multiple patch panel bodies 100 to be connected and assembled, thereby improving the strength of the patch panel bodies 100. When used in a wider cabinet, it can effectively prevent the patch panel bodies 100 from bending.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, each of the mounting slots 110 is equipped with a patch panel 200, and each patch panel 200 is provided with a network cable port 210 at equal intervals. Both sides of the patch panel 200 are provided with protrusions that cooperate with the grooves 120.
[0028] In this embodiment, the patch panel 200 is placed in the mounting slot 110 and installed in the groove 120 with screws. In this way, if a patch panel 200 fails, the patch panel 200 module can be replaced individually.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the sliding groove 140 is symmetrically slidably connected with sliding rods 310, and a mounting bracket 300 is fixedly connected between one end of two corresponding sliding rods 310.
