SQ-iD 2
What kinds of jacks does SQ-iD 2 support?
The SQ-iD 2 supports most high-density keystone jacks, which allows for more media than just network cabling.
However, the SQ-iD is known and tested to support the following:
- Category 3, 5, 5E, 6, 6A Network Cabling
- Co-Axial
- LC Fiber
- HDMI
- USB
- USB-C
Does the SQ-iD 2 require power?
The SQ-iD 2 uses a 5V/1A USB-C connector for power. They can be daisy-chained together if you have multiple in a cabinet.
How many SQ-iD 2 units can I have in a single cabinet?
As many as you can fit. They are 1U each, the same size as a standard patch panel, and the power connectors daisy-chain together to save outlet space.
How does SNAPP integrate into the SQ-iD 2?
The SNAPP is a separate appliance that attaches to and reads data from the SQ-iD 2’s onboard dry relay.
Does the SQ-iD 2 affect cable performance?
The SQ-iD 2 does not affect cable performance. It uses a separate conductor to activate the light above the desired port.
What do I get when I order an SQ-iD 2?
You will receive an SQ-iD 2 patch panel and the SQ-iD identifier tool. No jacks are included.
How do I manage cables with the SQ-iD 2?
There is an integrated cable management system on the back of the patch panel you can run the cables through.
How many rack units does the SQ-iD 2 take up?
1U.
SQ-iD DC
What cassettes does the SQ-iD DC support?
The SQ-iD DC will only support Quicktrex MPO cassettes.
Does the SQ-iD DC require power?
The SQ-iD DC uses a 5V/1A USB-C connector for power. They can be daisy-chained together if you have multiple in a cabinet.
How many rack units does the SQ-iD DC take up?
2U.
How many cassettes can I have in a single SQ-iD DC?
The SQ-iD DC supports up to 14 cassettes at once.
Does the SQ-iD DC affect fiber performance?
The SQ-iD DC does not affect fiber performance. It uses a separate conductor to activate the light in front of the desired port.
How does SNAPP integrate into the SQ-iD DC?
The SNAPP is a separate box that attaches to and reads data from the SQ-iD DC’s onboard dry relay.
What do I get when I order an SQ-iD DC?
You will receive an SQ-iD DC chassis and the SQ-iD identifier tool. No cassettes, no MPO cassettes, no MPO fiber are included.
Where can I purchase fiber cassettes for the SQ-iD DC?
You can purchase Quicktrex cassettes and parts that work with the SQ-iD DC from lanshack.com.
SNAPP
(Squid Notification Application)
Does the SNAPP use separate hardware?
The SNAPP is a separate appliance to either the SQ-iD 2 or SQ-iD DC. It plugs into their onboard relay and is not part of either product. It can be purchased and added onto any system with the SQ-iD 2 or SQ-iD DC.
Can I use the SNAPP with any SQUiDLiTE product?
The SNAPP supports both current SQ-iD products. The SNAPP does not support the SQ-iD 1 product, which does not have an onboard dry relay.
How many rack units does the SNAPP take up?
None.
Does the SNAPP require configuration?
The SNAPP will require configuration from the user. Setup is very simple and only requires the user to input the location of the patch panel or MPO chassis.
How does SNAPP integrate into the SQ-iD products?
The SNAPP is a separate box that attaches to and reads data from the SQ-iD’s onboard dry relay.
What is the response time of the SNAPP?
Email systems are not instantaneous. The SNAPP sends the signal immediately, but a mail server may not send that signal to you immediately. Expect 5-10 seconds of delay between plugging in the SQ-iD identification tool and receiving the email.
