Description
Ethernet network with improved network switch.
The invention has been made for the technical field of network or information technology in the context of electronic transfer of data, wherein computer terminals and computer servers are connected to a wired packet switching network (PSN; meaning packet-switched network) , and wherein network routers (operating at OSI layer 3) and switches (operating at OSI layer 2) and hubs (operating at OSI layer 1) are involved in data traffic with application of, for example, Ethernet/Internet Protocol. A network switch is, for example, the CATALYST 3750 from Cisco Systems. A patch panel is for example the SYSTIMAX 360 GigaSPEED X10D 1100 GS5 from CommScope.
For example, one or more of the following applies: the standard ANSI/TIA-568-C or ISO/IEC 11801 for data or signal cables; the standard EIA-310 for dimensions of 19 inch patch racks; the network standard IEEE 802.3; the TCP/IP protocol. The data speed is, for example, at least 10, or 100 Mb/s. Existing situation.
In a building, for example an office building, there is, for example in one or more workspaces in the building, a large number of wall sockets (so-called wall-outlets) with which location-bound, in the building, for example in one or more workspaces, arranged, terminals (such as: PCs, telephones, printers) can be connected to the wired communication network inside and outside the building. A loose data cable runs freely from the location-bound terminal in the workspace and is connected with a plug (e.g. RJ-45) to the associated wall socket. A permanently installed data cable (preferably out of sight) runs from the wall socket to a collection point in the building, for example a technical room (also called: "patch room"), where all permanently installed data cables from the building come together and are connected to a switch located in the technical room, for which purpose use is made of an in the technical space arranged patch box comprising a patch panel and a switch. The switch connects the individual permanently installed data cables from the building to the network of computer servers located outside the building in server
cabinets in remote data centres.
The invention relates to the technical room, in particular the patch box, where the data cables from the building come together and are connected to the network by means of a switch (so-called Ethernet network) . US2017/0102510 discloses a system for communicating between computer servers and a core switch in a computer server room, wherein the computer servers and the core switch are placed in a common cabinet (called "rack assembly") . This is another technical field.
An alternative name for "data cable from the building"is "UTP cable" .
In the conventional patch box (also called "patch-rack") the so-called "patchen"takes place and for that for each data cable from the building (UTP cable) , a private data
communications cable (the so called patch cable) from the patch panel to the switch is used to get a working connection.
New situation
With the invention (indicated by the addition "2.0") a per se known patch-panel is connected to the new switch (referred to as "Switch 2.0") by means of a
"Patch2.0-connector" . The Patch 2.0-connector is with the improved switch connected (preferably at the rear side of the switch) by means of a single data cable (also called:
"Patch2.0-data cable"), for instance a glass fibre cable, preferably by using a single plug (labeled "Patch 2.0-multi plug") .
For example, the Patch2.0-data cable is an MPO terminated cable or a QFSP-DD.
More preferably, use is made of the new patch-panel (referred to as "Patch-panel2.0" ) , wherein the data cables from the building are directly connected to the Patch-panel2.0 (also called: "doggen" or "dogging") . The Patch-panel2.0 is preferably through a single data cable, the Patch2.0-data cable, preferably by means of a single Patch2.0-multi plug, connected to the Switch2.0. The Switch 2.0 preferably has only connections, preferably connections for the
Patch2.0-multiplug, at the rear so that no cables are visible at the front. Preferably, this is also unnecessary since connections never have to be made per data cable from the building, because the multitude of patch cables has been replaced by a single Patch2.0-data cable. Preferably, all data cables from the building are, via the Patch2.0-panel, connected to the Switch2.0, and are managed by the (web) interface of the Switch2.0.
Thus, in the situation "2.0", the plurality of separate patch cables running from the patch panel and attached to the switch are preferably missing, these have been replaced by a single data cable, for example a fibre optic cable, preferably by means of a single Patch2.0-multi plug connected to the switch (Switch2.0 ) .
The load level of the Switch2.0 is limited. Due to this limitation, there is usually a maximum in the number of data cables from the building that is possible per Switch 2.0. If a single Switch2.0 is overloaded, one or more additional Switch2.0 can be deployed in the patch box to spread the load. If multiple Switch2.0 are used in the patch box, these can be linked and managed through a single interface. With multiple linked Switch 2.0 switches, there is also no failure of the patch box if a single switch fails or is temporarily out of service for maintenance.
The Switch2.0, Patch-Panel2.0 and Patch2.0-connector are mutually distinct and separate and autonomous (also called "self-contained") device, and preferably fit into the existing 19 inch patch-rack.
Thus, the invention relates to one or more of: Switch2.0; Patch-panel2.0 ; Patch2.0-connector; Patch2.0-datakabel (e.g. fibre optic cable) with Patch2.0-multi plug. The
Patch2.0-connector is preferably used when applied with a conventional patch-panel plus conventional Ethernet switch. The network connections (wall outlet connections; the data cables from the building) are mounted on the Patch-panel2.0 (direct) / Patch2.0-connector (via the usual patch panel) . The Switch2.0 is directly connected to the
Patch-panel2.0 /Patch2.0-connector via the Patch2.0-data cable. The Patch2.0-data cable is the only input/output connection between Switch2.0 and
Patch-panel2.0 /Patch2.0-connector . The Switch2.0 operates directly with all network port numbers and the switch interface is set up for this. The switch interface takes care of making and setting up the connections with the network port numbers (input + output) . The Patch-panel2.0/Patch2.0-connector function only as mountingboards .
The Patch2.0-data cable preferably has a minimum of 50 or 100 cores. The Patch2.0-multi plug preferably has a minimum of 50 or 100 connection terminals. Preferably, all available network connections are connected.
Advantages of the invention : neat clear patch rack; space saving; all network terminals are connected, and can be switched on and off by a software-based switch; can be managed remotely; to search in which port which network connection is located is no longer required; it is easy for network connections to adapt or to make; via an interface the current situation is always visible and can be exported to e.g. Excel; allows conversion in steps from the existing situation with patch cables; no patch cables required; redundant, load can be distributed over multiple switches; all network connections can be managed by software; allows remote management; new patch rooms can be smaller; existing patch rooms can handle larger numbers of network connections.
Preferably, one or more of the following is applied: for total conversion to 2.0, all network connections are redirected (also called "redoggen") to a Patch-panel2.0 ; to add new network connections, either a Patch-panel2.0 will be disconnected causing existing network connections to fail on the same Patch-panel2.0 , or use is made of loose connectors, for example of UTP type, which avoids downtime; at failure of a complete Patch-panel2.0 several ports fail.
Preferably, the Patch2.0-connector has, for example, on the rear side, a plurality of at least ten, for instance 24, connections, for example of type RJ45 and, preferably, on a
side, a data cable with a Patch2.0-multi plug for connection to the Switch2.0 and on the front, preferably only the protective cover of the cabling is visible. The Patch2.0-data cable with Patch2.0-multi plug preferably extends along the side to, preferably, the back of the Switch2.0.
The Patch-panel2.0 is preferably 1U high, and has, preferably at the front, a plurality of at least three connectors, for example, of type UTP and/or UBIC, for example, 6 x UTP and/or 4 x UBIC slot, and is, preferably, on top, provided with a plurality of at least 50 or 100, for example 144, connections to which the data cables from the building can be directly connected. The Patch2.0-data cable with
Patch2.0-multi plug runs to one or more Switches2.0. Of the sides, at least one has a slot in which in the cables can be incorporated .
For example, the switch includes a plurality of input ports each configured for connecting a data cable; a plurality of output ports each arranged to connect a data cable; electronic circuits for performing network switching operations, which circuits are connected to the plurality of input and output ports .
