Multi-channel junction boxes, also known as patch panels are widely used in vibration shaker installations to provide a neat interface between shaker room and control room. This type of solution reduces the wear and tear on the cables which improves data quality and minimises intermittent faults. When specifying electrical infrastructure for industrial facilities, three terms come up repeatedly: junction box, marshalling panel, and system cabinet. While they may look similar at first glance—metal enclosures housing electrical connections—they serve distinctly different purposes in the. A patch panel is a device or unit featuring a number of jacks, usually of the same or similar type, for the use of connecting and routing circuits for monitoring, interconnecting, and testing circuits in a convenient, flexible manner. Twisted-pair cables are used to make patch cables.
