PatchManager gives clear insight into the purpose and usage of every cable, device and network location. With realistic modeling that maps one-to-one with the actual infrastructure, PatchManager provides network professionals with a simple to use but powerful application.

A simple spreadsheet or database together with some drawing package might do the trick in small infrastructures. However, the sheer complexity involved in maintaining the cabling and assets in medium to large networks requires a more extensive tool.
