VisiPORT™ is an easy to deploy and manage solution that monitors the status and capacity of all copper and fiber ports in real time. Intelligent panels and port sensors automatically detect port activity, alerting users to issues such as insufficient capacity, unauthorized patching, device availability and more.
Awards & Innovation
Gold Honoree
CI&M Cabling Innovators Award, 2024
As gateways to the network, your panel ports have a lot to say about the operational capabilities, security and readiness of your infrastructure. Understanding what they're saying is more important now than ever, and way easier than you may think.
Network changes mean more panel ports
- Exponential growth in data traffic
- Lower latency performance requirements
- Continued growth of high-density mesh networks
- Surging deployment of connected network devices.
Port management is more critical than ever
Minimize downtime
Improve network planning
Increase network security
Boost change management efficiency
...and more challenging
Continued use of documentation applications that rely on manual entry
Greater reliance on non-customer smart hands and on-prem teams
Fast-moving changes require accurate, real-time data
Network managers often oversee multiple facilities
The cost of every mistake and missed opportunity is magnified.
VisiPORT™
A standalone hardware solution for automated port monitoring
Track the real-time status and capacity of all your fiber and copper ports for faster, more accurate change management and network planning.
Instantly see the number, type and location of all patch panels across the network to accelerate and improve infrastructure management.
Standalone, easy-to-deploy hardware solution uses intelligent panels with built-in port sensors.
Automatically detects and documents port activity, eliminating the need for manual tracking/auditing and potential input errors.
Automatically alerts you to issues such as insufficient port capacity, all connectivity changes, and more.
Pre-configured dashboards and port status data accessible via browser-based interface.
Automated email notifications and remote-controlled port LEDs alert and quickly guide onsite techs to ports needing planned or unplanned maintenance.
SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH

Using multiple applications to document the cabling infrastructure typically involves some manual data and errors that can’t always be reconciled but do impact your ability to manage change. |
You have a single source of truth that automatically monitors and updates the status of all fiber and copper ports. |
RIGHT INFORMATION IN REAL TIME

---|---|
Periodic capacity audits can tell you when ports at remote sites approach their capacity limits. But if you get that data after the threshold has been passed, you risk downtime. |
You can pre-define port capacity thresholds and VisiPORT will alert you when the threshold is reached, giving you plenty of time to plan and upgrade port capacity. |
SMART HANDS WITH SMART EYES

You may have smart hands teams on-prem to manage port connectivity but guiding them to a specific port over the phone is like flying blind. Even if your panels are clearly labeled. |
You can remotely activate high-visibility LEDs for any ports that need attention, enabling techs to locate the right port and make changes. Then you can deactivate the LEDs just as easily. |
AN EXTRA LAYER OF SECURITY

Every port is a potential backdoor into the network for bad actors who show up on site. Customers are especially vulnerable during non-working hours when fewer people are present. change. |
24/7 monitoring of all fiber and copper port patching activities. Based on the parameters you define, VisiPORT alerts you to any potentially malicious activity so you can take swift and appropriate action. |
