The following sections illustrate and describe in greater detail how QuickNet trunks and harnesses are used in common
data center cabling configurations.
Two-Connector Interconnect
In this very common data center cabling configuration, a permanent link trunk runs between patch panels on each end,
with patch cords used to interconnect the active equipment. Often the panel on one end is in a switch (or network) cabinet,
and the panel on the other end is in a server or storage cabinet.
