Although the PerfectPatch

should work in any vertical management system, an industry study has pointed out that installing larger-capacity vertical managers allows for less restriction of patch cords, prompting faster identification and easier patch-cord management. That is why PerfectPatch, Inc., has reviewed some manufacturers' products and provided a list for your review.

Manufacturers: If you are interested in supplying PerfectPatch, Inc., with a sample of your high-capacity vertical managers for our review, please click here.
