Panduit & IT in the Plant: Preconfigured Network Cabinet

The NOW is the Connected Enterprise. Connecting the IT (Information Technology) department with the OT (Operations Technology) department.  Smart automation, the Internet of things, whatever you call it, it is the fact that things are all going to be connected in manufacturing.  How do we do that?

This is a larger puzzle with Rockwell Automation, Panduit and Cisco.

One piece of the puzzle is Panduit and their new preconfigured network cabinet. 

The Pre-Configured IDF is specifically engineered to deploy and protect rack mount Ethernet switches in industrial applications. Extra-depth allows room for cable management, power management, and switch stack cables and accommodates up to 5 switches. The innovative design provides consistent equipment deployment with faster installation and can significantly lower the risk of downtime due to switch overheating

  • Built-in features such as cable management, power infrastructure and grounding deliver 25% faster installation
  • Standardized pre-configured equipment and accessory layout assures consistency
  • Optimized design provides 3X the cooling capacity over typical deployments for increased reliability
  • Key-locking handle limits access to authorized personnel to ensure a secure network
  • Double hinges allow front and rear access to network switches for quick and easy maintenance
