Abstract:
1. A compensating advanced feature patch panel that can include removable modular or fixed electronic components, wherein the patch panel provides improved performance levels, said patch panel comprising: a multilayered patch panel printed circuit board comprising a plurality of layers; a communication circuit disposed on at least a first layer of said plurality and electrically coupled between an insulation displacement connector (IDC) at a PD/User end and an RJ45 connector at a telecommunication equipment end; at least one of a removable modular or fixed electronic component electrically coupled with said communication circuit, said component comprised of at least one active circuit disposed on at least a second layer of said plurality to provide an advanced feature and a data manager to monitor, control and collect data; and a compensating separation mechanism comprised of at least a third layer of said plurality and disposed between said first and second layers to isolate said active circuit from said communication circuit and to substantially minimize at least one adverse effect resulting from said active circuit and thereby providing improved performance levels.
