How It Works

What is Trunktie?
Trunkties are a simple solution designed to hold, hang, or tag things in position relative to an unpopulated port. Their most common use is to hold tags for identifying network ports, but our customers have found countless creative applications for their use.

How it works
Trunkties plug into an unused port, providing a flexible cable that secures into a multipurpose loop. That's all, it's that simple.

An Unfilled Need
Trunkties were designed to fill a simple, but pervasive need in telecom and other environments. There are many products on the market for labeling cables, but unused ports generally have no clear identification. At best, some have a permanent id or a sticker affixed in the margins between ports. This lack of clear identification leads to confusion, errors, and expense. The simple act of plugging into a patch panel often become an exercise in trial and error or involves engineers operating network testing equipment to find the right port.The errors and wasted time/money can be avoided by simply identifying a port with a detailed label affixed via a Trunktie.
