[0007]

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, when adding panels to expand an information communication network, after connecting the panels to be added to the existing panels and standing them upright, it is necessary to connect the wiring to the lower end of the existing panels. It is necessary to extend the existing data and power lines to the bottom edge of the added panel and run them along the added panel to the interface board and power outlet installed on this panel. Therefore, when newly providing a data line and a power supply line, there is a problem in that wiring work requires time and effort. Additionally, since the data line and power line are placed close to each other, there is a risk that electromagnetic noise generated in the power line may affect the data line, causing data on the data line to be destroyed. There is a problem.

[0008] In view of such problems, the present invention facilitates the wiring work of newly provided data lines and power lines when adding panels, and prevents data on the data lines from being destroyed by electromagnetic noise of the power lines. The purpose is to provide wiring panels.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A wiring panel according to the present invention includes a first horizontal duct for accommodating a data line, and a second horizontal duct for accommodating a power line, spaced apart by an appropriate length along the horizontal duct. The configuration includes a horizontal duct, an interface board provided in the first horizontal duct, and a power outlet provided in the second horizontal duct.

0010

[Operation] Data lines are accommodated in the first horizontal duct provided in the panel, and the data lines are connected to the interface board. A power line is accommodated in the second horizontal duct, and the power line is connected to a power outlet. When the panels are arranged side by side, the first horizontal ducts and the second horizontal ducts of adjacent panels face each other. Thereby, the data line and the power line can be easily routed from the first horizontal duct and second horizontal duct of the existing panel to the first horizontal duct and second horizontal duct of the expansion panel. Since the first horizontal duct and the second horizontal duct are separated from each other, the data line is not affected by electromagnetic noise from the power line.
