AIM – Automated Infrastructure Management
Real-time Network Securityand Transparency with PatchPro® Intelligent Patching
PatchPro® offers a complete intelligent ready physical layer management system that uses RFID (radio frequency identification) technology for wireless identification of individual patch cords and real-time monitoring of unintended physical changes in network infrastructure.
Smart patch cords are equipped with an RFID chip containing idiosyncratic identification information (name, standard, manufacturer, etc.), which is recognized by the panel and automatically fed into the software for seamless real-time database documentation. The RFID technology does not alter data center density or affect patch cord flexibility or reliability.
Network infrastructure changes are automatically detected and transmitted to the software platform, facilitating immediate action. Network managers also receive email and/or text alerts about unwanted changes. At the rack level, unwanted changes are signaled in three ways:-By a red light on top of the rack-As clear text in the Belden PatchPro® Network Manager display-With LED signaling at the patch-panel level.

IoT & BI – Business Intelligence and Data Analytics
Its all about the Data – Access, and leverage the data your enterprise produces
PatchPro® is database-driven, all regions, objects, and assets are converted into objects on the database with unique attributes and information. This is not only an incredibly powerful application for asset management, but also for business intelligence and data analytics, as the data is stored in easily accessible database tables, either SQL or Oracle, that connect the data sources to business intelligence (BI) applications such as Microsoft Power BI.
Model power analytics from the data from your digital enterprise, bench-mark sites, regions, departments, assets, square meterage, free for used space, cost centers, human capital experience, expertise, and education. PatchPro® is fully customizable, utilize this feature to create the custom fields critical to your analytics outputs.

IoT – Any intelligent devices monitoring, measuring, sensing, tracking or feeding data of any kind on your network, easily connect to the database through SNMP protocols. Other serial devices RS232, RS422, and RS485 can be integrated too using gateways and the PatchPro® API plugin.
This makes PatchPro® a powerful application for an enterprise to add and unlock value, building smart assets that produce real-time critical operational data specific to the organization’s requirements.
Automate, monitor and measure with edge devices at your sites and on your network.
- Power, water, fuel and data consumption
- Real-time monitoring and sensing
- Predictive maintenance


Mechanics – How PatchPro® Works
The key point is the Database
The Database sends all information/changes to the graphical user interface (GUI) through CADVANCE and or AutoCAD. The advantage of PatchPro® is that you can manipulate the database by using the GUI which is quick and easy, objects changed on the system update in real-time.

PatchPro® is windows based and connects to either a SQL or Oracle database. The database connects to PatchPro® F (iPLM) and PatchPro® I (DCIM) applications, which integrate through CAD or CADVANCE. The Webserver, Add-ons, and API are installed separately.
