Security system

The operational reliability of computer centers can be enhanced already at the cabling level, at no great cost. Faults caused by human error can be prevented from the outset if the instal-lation offers a high level of clarity, simplicity and usability. Here, a simple yet consistent me-chanical solution can often be more effective than expensive active components or complex software solutions.

R&M’s solution is modular, adaptable and retrofittable. The R&M security system is based on Smartholes, which are integrated as standard in R&M’s platforms for copper and fiber optic connectors. Outlets and patch panels are therefore already prepared for the security instal-lation. The R&M security system consists of three levels:

1. Visual coding
2. Mechanical and visual coding, and
3. Intelligent protection using lock mechanisms and authorization solutions

The R&M PlugGuard is available at the third level. It protects connectors to active devices (switches, surveillance cameras, etc.) against unauthorized access.
