Document cables and define efficient patching

The documentation of cabling is not only important for Internet Service Providers. Every IT company has faced the situation that a cable was unplugged or that it was unclear what surprises were waiting on the other side of the cable line. The i-doit add-on supports you on documenting cables in many aspects. On the one hand, the quick overview is possible as you are used to with the CMDB Explorer. The connections are displayed in a clear and compact way. On the other hand, another simplification is available with this add-on: Patch orders are a common way in data centers to schedule work and to be able to hand over the order in a documented form.

Who do we recommend the Cabling add-on for?

Organization that have to document cables as well.
