Abstract
Disclosed is a system for operating a network incorporating high-density connections for increased efficiency, network operation and management. The high-density connections are incorporated into the patch panel, network switch, and cables that connects them, as well as into cable analyzers and printed circuit boards (PCBs) which allow for a complete network within a single computer running virtualization software.

A high density (HD) data communications patch panel comprising:
- a patch panel frame having a front face and a rear face, said front face having a first 192 pin connection port and a second 192 pin connection port;
- said rear face having a first cable connection group electrically coupled to said first 192 pin connection port and a second cable connection group electrically coupled to said second 192 pin connection port;
- said first cable connection group comprising a first row of 12 insulation-displacement connectors (IDC's) equally spaced across a width along an upper edge of said rear face and a second row of 12 IDC's equally spaced across the width of said rear face between said first row and a lower edge;
- said second cable connection group comprising a third row of 12 IDC's equally spaced across the width of said rear face between said second row and said lower edge and a fourth row of 12 IDC's equally spaced across the width of said rear face along said lower edge.
