Greetings,
I have several control cabinets distributed across a plant and they all need to be interconnected in a ring type topology. The customer wants to use FO to tie the control cabinets together. My question is, can I use a typical fiber optic patch panel to tie them together at a COMMs room? Each cabinet would have its own ethernet switch.
I was wondering how this interconnection would look like at the patch panel. Would I need to go through a media converter switch to accomplish this?
Thanks,
EE
