Wiring Closets

Wiring Closets are critical sub-systems of an organization's network environment that require careful selection of appropriate Network Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) to ensure network availability. APC offers solutions for the wiring closet including UPS, racks, rack PDUs, air-conditioning/airflow, environmental management, and other related accessories to achieve the level of availability required.

While wiring closets at one point primarily housed passive devices such as patch panels, small hubs, and small switches, they are now often required to house large, high power switches and telecommunications equipment to support new applications such as VoIP and IP Telephony. Unfortunately, wiring closets are often hidden in some remote location of a building and exhibit problems such as: limited available floor space, inadequate power protection, insufficient cooling, and lack of environmental management. These problems often lead to unwanted down time and limited availability. APC offers complete Network Critical Physical Infrastructure solutions for the wiring closet including UPS, racks, rack PDU's, air-conditioning/airflow, environmental management, and other related accessories to achieve the level of availability required.
