Modular Patch Panels - The Foundation of Data Center Connectivity
High-density modular patch panels are the central nervous system of modern data center infrastructure, providing organized, scalable connectivity for both fiber optic and copper networking. From AI clusters to hyperscale cloud platforms, our cassette-based systems deliver the flexibility to grow and reconfigure as network demands evolve.
Wave2Wave's EVO and EXO patch panel platforms combine industry-leading density with modular flexibility, enabling seamless protocol upgrades from 10G to 800G without replacing trunk infrastructure. Supporting both fiber (LC, MPO-12/16/24) and copper (Cat6A, Cat8) cassettes, our systems protect your investment while providing the organized connectivity required for high-performance networks.
Solving the Scalability and Density Challenge
The Challenge
Traditional fixed patch panels lock you into one connector type and port configuration. As networks scale from 10G to 100G to 400G, entire panels must be replaced, creating massive disruption and wasting valuable trunk cabling infrastructure investments.
Complete panel replacement required for protocol upgrades
Limited density wastes precious rack space
Single port failure requires entire panel downtime
No flexibility to mix fiber and copper in same panel
Critical Point: Without modular flexibility, infrastructure upgrades become cost-prohibitive and operationally complex, limiting your ability to scale.
Our Solution
Wave2Wave's modular cassette-based patch panels enable you to swap individual modules without replacing trunk cabling or disrupting adjacent connections. Upgrade from 10G to 400G by simply changing cassettes—keeping your backbone infrastructure intact while adapting to new protocols.
Hot-swappable cassettes for zero-downtime upgrades
Industry-leading density: 144 fiber ports or 48 copper ports per 1RU
Mix fiber and copper cassettes in the same chassis
80% cost savings vs. complete infrastructure replacement
Result: Future-proof infrastructure that protects your investment and enables seamless scaling from 10G through 800G on the same backbone cabling.
