What is Middle of Row (MoR) configuration?

The MoR configuration positions networking equipment and connectivity panels strategically in the middle of server rows. This central placement is key to its efficiency, allowing for shorter cable runs and more organized cable management. These cabinets optimize switching and routing infrastructure installations, operation, and maintenance, enabling your data center with unmatched efficiency and scalability.

Why choose MoR Configuration?
