Racks can accommodate standard sized components, so you can buy other network hardware that fits into them. You can get rack mountable firewalls and network switches – here at i7 Tech we want to help you organise and manage your hardware. Centralise all the components of your network to make your life easier.

i7 Technologies also provides patch panels – another very useful component to have as part of your local network. Basically, it's a wallboard mounted piece of hardware that serves as a central location to run all your wires through. The wires are most often Ethernet cables for LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network).

The patch panel allows circuits to be arranged and rearranged by plugging and unplugging the patch cords. This is so useful to prevent a tangle of wires trailing across your office floor, which is at best, an annoyance, and at worst, a real trip hazard. Also, this easy plugging and unplugging allows you to experiment with layouts and orders to get the absolute best from your network to make a real difference to your business.
