Abstract
A modular rack controller for an intelligent patching system includes a base unit comprising a processor and memory that monitor and log patch cord connectivity in the patching system, and a separate display unit comprising a user interface. The base unit and display unit are in electrical communication with each other via a patch cord, and the display unit displays patch cord connectivity information monitored by the base unit. The rack controller may include a separate Ethernet interface unit that allows the rack controller to communicate with other rack controllers. A mounting bracket having front and rear sides is mounted to a patch panel rack. The display unit is secured to the front side of the mounting bracket and the base unit is secured to the rear side of the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket may have a hinge that pivots the display unit relative to a patch panel rack.
