According to Steve Timian, Vice President of Business Development at Panduit, "The Universal Network Zone system offers customers the ability to implement a wide variety of switching requirements and applications. Our scalable and flexible building block architecture solution saves installation time by integrating both copper and fiber connectivity, cable management, grounding, and power with UPS and PoE options into a single enclosure."
"In a market moving towards convergence between IT and OT, users are looking for industrial zone networking solutions that are flexible and agile, reduce installation and deployment time, and minimize risks, guesswork, and uncertainty," according to Craig Resnick, vice president of ARC Advisory Group. "These market factors are offset by end users and original equipment manufacturers losing technical expertise due to retirement and staff reductions. They no longer have the in-house technical talent to design systems, select, purchase, and install components, and troubleshoot system issues. The Panduit Universal Network Zone system addresses these market demands by providing scalable, pre-engineered, and pre-packaged systems that accommodate a wide variety of switches and cables; are equipped with logically designed electrification systems for rapid connectivity and system diagnostics; can be safely, reliably, and quickly installed and deployed by less experienced personnel; and meet all appropriate power, electrical, and safety standards and certifications for a wide range of applications."
