Source and destination
Select the panel port, connected hardware and destination port instead of relying on free-form notes.
PATCH PANEL DOCUMENTATION
Make every patch
traceable.
Use a guided workflow to document where a patch begins, what it connects to and the physical details a technician needs later.
Patch panel documentation records how panel ports connect to switch ports, outlets, devices and other physical endpoints—so the next change begins with context.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Patch panel documentation FAQs
What does Patch Wizard record?
The selected source port, destination hardware and port, plus supporting cable details within the physical network record.
Can existing connections be repatched?
Yes. CABVIX supports repatching so the current state can be maintained as work changes.
Can I document outlets too?
Yes. Outlet Manager maps sockets and patch-panel positions, while Physical Paths and Trace Site help show how endpoints connect.
Is this a live network discovery tool?
No. CABVIX is a physical documentation workspace; it does not claim to automatically discover or monitor logical network state.
