  • Page 2 BICSI Welcomes Neat-Patch! At BICSI World Headquarters in Tampa, FL, Master Instructor Bruce Nardone elaborates on the bend radius concept of the NP2K6 to Donna Dunn - Executive Director and CEO, Ron Shaver - Master Instructor, and Patricia Eckebrecht - Director of Administration and CFO.
  • Page 3 The NP2K6 is currently installed in the classroom at BICSI. This is indeed the only compliant cable manager in the world.
  • Page 4 No other cable manager can do this. None. Is this what you’re looking for?
  • Page 7 There’s only one product that can do this. Just one.
  • Page 8 The Keys to a Neat Network Since the dawn of rack mounted networks, IT managers have stressed over the inability to organize and create a neat patching environment. At Neat-Patch, we believe the answer has always been there. When building a new network, you need not purchase anything in addition to the current class of wire management;...
  • Page 9 It seems that as we travel from network to network, we find many different rack configurations, all based on personal preference. This is a result of current day products that don’t work no matter how you arrange your racks and cabinets. As we stated earlier, current horizontal management doesn’t manage anything except to get you out of your switch or patch panel and dumps your excess cables into a vertical manager.

  • Page 26 Notice the clean vertical. Bend radius compliance for optimal bandwidth.
  • Page 27 Here we go again with a situation that got out of hand. Let’s give it a haircut. What we have is the formation of a chassis, great for port density, but a bad tradeoff for cable management.
