As an Internet company, NetEase's portal website and e-mail business are in a leading position in China, and now it has begun to cross the border to the field of intelligent hardware. As an important pillar of future industrial upgrading, today's intelligent hardware market is also booming in China. There are a variety of related products, and even good and bad ones are mixed up. Any product that you take out is crowned with intelligent products, and you want to grab a piece of the market. NetEase did not go to this mixed water, but launched the basic product of intelligent hardware - intelligent patch board. As a product often used in our daily life, the broad market of patch panel is the entry point of NetEase cross-border intelligent hardware products.

Thank you first Love to play computer games Try it out, and thank the manufacturer for providing product support.

1、 Unpacking:

Although it is only a patch board, it is necessary to open the box. Netease smart patch board adopts white paper box sealed with transparent plastic film. There is only Netease's logo on the front of the package, which makes you feel clean and elegant. But the logistics is a little rough now, and the corners of the packaging are obviously deformed.

On the back of the package, yes Product parameters and relevant information of Netease intelligent patch panel. It can be seen that the model of this Netease smart patch board is XCD-01-3A4U, and the manufacturer is Shenzhen Yuanchuang Times Technology Co., Ltd. Isn't this company ORICO? No wonder this patch panel looks familiar.

Packaging of Netease intelligent patch board within In addition to the plug-in board, there is also a manual and a thank you card. The main body of the patch board is sealed with frosted pigment bags, and the connecting wires are packed in independent paper boxes, which ensures the effective separation of the two products in the package and the appearance of the patch board is not scratched. The description of the cable length of the patch panel was not found in the instructions and product parameters, and it was roughly measured. It should be 1.5 meters long. Finally, let's have a family picture of the product.

2、 Appearance details:

The appearance of Netease intelligent patch board and ORICO HPC-3A4U are from the same model. It provides 3 national standard sockets and 4 USB charging interfaces, and is equipped with power switch and indicator light. The size of the product is 270 * 50 * 30mm, which is fairly standard. The three national standard jacks are equipped with child safety doors. It takes strength to open the single hole when inserting, so as to prevent children from accidentally inserting their fingers or holding metal objects and getting electric shock. However, in normal use, it is effortless and easy to insert.

At the back of the patch panel, you can see the raised anti-skid rubber pad on the four corners of the edge, which is also the hiding place of the fixing screws of the patch panel. The parameter information of the patch panel is printed on the right side of the back. During use, pay attention to that the power and current should not exceed the load.

NetEase smart patch panel adopts an integrated design in terms of modeling. The upper and lower parts are matte, and the processing method combined with the side mirror polishing makes a patch panel artistic.

Let's take a look at the details of the plug. At the connection part, the upper and lower mold burrs caused by the injection molding process were not treated, leaving a little pity. The LOGO and website integrated on the front of the plug represent that although this NetEase patch board is for OEM, it has made a lot of efforts on its own brand.

3、 Product comparison:

Netease intelligent patch board and When Xiaomi's smart patch boards are put together, NetEase's smart patch boards are obviously a circle larger than Xiaomi's. This is not only because there is one more way on the USB port, but also because NetEase uses a large hole pitch of 45mm at the socket position, so that some devices with large plugs will not interfere with each other. From the appearance, Xiaomi's small size is more suitable for travel, while NetEase's beautiful shape is more suitable for home use.

In addition to different sizes and hole locations, NetEase's smart patch panel is also equipped with cable ties, which can easily store cables when carrying. This is easier to use than the rubber ring used by Xiaomi. The safety of the two smart sockets is good. Children's safety door, lightning protection, surge prevention, overload, overcurrent and other safety protection can be used safely. For this reason, the AC sockets of NetEase and Xiaomi patch panels were specially tested. When using single hole insertion, both patch panels require greater force to be inserted. When using plug testing, NetEase smart patch panels are easier to be inserted than Xiaomi's. NetEase smart patch panels show excellent performance. The later disassembly comparison will analyze the two safety door modes, which will not be detailed here.

4、 Deep disassembly:

NetEase smart patch panels, like Xiaomi's, use the inner triangle anti removal screws, which can only be removed with special tools. After the four screws are removed, the back cover cannot be opened directly. The patch panel also has a built-in snap design.

Pry off the back cover, and you can see the inside of Netease smart patch panel at a glance. Black circuit board and socket used for protection circuit and USB power circuit board Integrated copper sheet design, High quality tin phosphorus bronze is used as the most important conductive structural material inside, which has strong conductivity, wear resistance and higher corrosion resistance.

Internal comparison between Xiaomi and Netease patch boards:

In terms of protection circuit, NetEase's smart patch board has some more circuit boards than Xiaomi's patch board. From the component point of view, it should be a filter circuit. It can absorb the peak current of the power supply, reduce the interference of current fluctuation on the equipment used, and provide a cleaner power supply. The Xiaomi patch board only uses the power protection module.

The four USB interfaces of NetEase smart patch board can all reach 2.8 level precision level current limiting. In case of short circuit, the USB port will immediately stop power supply output to protect the device from damage. When there is no load, it automatically enters the sleep mode, which greatly reduces the loss and saves energy. Since there is no test tool, here we only compare the work of the circuit board. The components and solder joints of Netease patch board are not as neat and smooth as Xiaomi's, and Xiaomi's handling is more beautiful in connection with the incoming line of the power supply. On the printing of the circuit, you can see that Xiaomi's USB board has its own logo, while NetEase's has the word ORICO here.

Let's compare the AC sockets of the two. The sockets are integrated The design of copper patch is different from that of socket. In terms of the thickness of copper patch, Xiaomi patch board is slightly thicker than NetEase's. Did you notice the red circle in the picture? This is the spring position of the safety door of the two sockets. Xiaomi uses an independent spring, while NetEase uses a spring for two holes. This is why NetEase is easier than Xiaomi when plugging in and out When the single hole of the safety door is forced, this design will not be opened easily because the force is concentrated on one side. When the two holes are inserted into the plug at the same time, it will be inserted smoothly.

Summary:

Through the comparison and evaluation of NetEase smart patch panels and millet patch panels at the same price from the outside to the inside, we can see that the two patch panels have their own advantages. Netease intelligent patch board is processed by Shenzhen Yuanchuang Times Technology Co., Ltd., and the processing of some details needs to be improved. It is worth mentioning that this patch panel can provide more high-quality power supply for some equipment with higher requirements in aspects such as safety gate design and power supply pre-processing, especially by adding filter circuits. If there is a need in this regard in the near future, you can consider Netease's smart patch board.

advantage:

1. The appearance and process design are novel, the socket spacing is large, and even large plugs will not interfere with each other;

2. The safety door can be easily inserted during normal use;

3. In addition to safety protection, filter circuit is added to the power incoming circuit;

4. USB charging circuit supports intelligent fast charging and sleep mode;

Disadvantages:

1. The appearance details should be improved;

2. Cable length parameters without patch panel;

3. The LOGO printed on the circuit board is ORICO, and there is no NetEase related description.

Finally, I would like to thank Lei Feng once again for the trial of the machine, and look forward to more machine experts joining in the trial activity of Lei Feng's machine. At the same time, we also thank the manufacturer for providing product support, and hope NetEase can have better products in the smart hardware market.
