How are network patch panels and switches used?

The connection between the network patch panel and the switch needs to be connected with a network cable. The network cable connects the patch frame with the server, and the patch frame in the wiring room also uses the network cable to connect it with the switch. So how do you connect?

1. Pass-Through Connection

Straight line connection is the most convenient. This method of wiring is to connect one end of the network cable to the patch panel in the work room, and the other end to the patch panel in the wiring room. Usually, RJ45 interfaces are used.

2. Cross-connect

The cross-connection method refers to installing two patch panels in the horizontal link, connecting one end of the two patch panels in the horizontal link through the network cable, and then connecting the other ends of the two patch panels in the horizontal link through the network cable. Connect with the patch panel in the work room and the patch panel in the wiring room.

How are network patch panels and switches used?

Next, let’s discuss the connection method between the patch panel and the switch.

1. Straight-through connection

This wiring method is relatively simple. The wiring method of the network cable is to use the patch panel to wire.

2. Cross wiring scheme

Add two patch panels in the horizontal link, use network cables to connect one end of the two patch panels in the horizontal link, and then the other ends of the two patch panels in the horizontal link are connected to the workroom through the network cables. Distribution frame connections between wire frames and wiring closets.
