How Does a Patch Panel Work?
Network infrastructure cabling usually includes a large number of Category 5, 5E, 6 or cat7 Ethernet cable that are pulled from various locations throughout a building into a single wiring closet. In order to organize the cables and protect them from damage, patch panels that feature punch down blocks for terminating the cables are used extensively in wiring closets. Connect network infrastructure cables to the back of a patch panel using a punch down tool and wire-strippers.
Fiber patch panel usually is composed of two parts, the compartment that contains fiber optic network adapter (bulkhead receptacle), and the compartment that contains fiber optic splice trays and excess fiber cables. If you want a even neater cable management, you can also use a fiber optic patch cable management tray to neatly store and manage excessive fiber patch cable lengths. A patch panel separates the hardwiring of your network from your networking equipment. Each run of cable that goes throughout the house or building is punched down on the back of the patch panel.
Rather than RJ45 ports, this side is equipped with punch down terminations and color-coding for T568A and T568B wiring. There are also independent verification testing symbols for UL and 3P. Each set of punch down terminations corresponds to a port on the front of the panel. Patch Cables connect the ports on the front of the patch panel (or panels) to your networking equipment (such as switches, hubs, and routers).
Most patch panels have redundant power supplies attached in order to ensure that power failures do not result in data transfer failures. Specialized patch panels, like switching routers, can make switching between one connected device to another as simple as the press of a button, without any need to rewire the connections.
