Istituto Serafico di Assisi is a non-profit ecclesiastical organization that helps children and young adults with disabilities. Their system integrator, Rafael Quintavalle, was looking for a solution for their racks and found PATCHBOX®.

“I asked my local reseller for a cabling solution for our Istituto Serafico di Assisi and he came up with the PATCHBOX.”

“He presented it to me, I tried it and immediately found it to be a very nice product. I was very pleased with it so I bought some more for our other server racks.”

“The installation of the PATCHBOX was super easy. I did it myself and had no problem. I used the Setup.exe for the switches and the /dev/mount instead of usual cage nuts to install it.”

“I noticed many advantages from using PATCHBOX: It’s easier to patch and re-patch the cables, but also there is a huge visual impact.”

“We have five to six racks in the office, so people can see it, and they all think it looks very neat and clean. I think it looks very nice.”

“As a technician I also see it from a different aspect: It’s neat, but I need to manage the cables – I have a good overview of the network just by its colour and I don’t need to pull back everything every time I want to do a modification.”

“The air flow inside the rack is way better as there is not a bunch of cable, so ventilation is better as well. I am very pleased with my PATCHBOX.”
