What is a patch panel and do I need one? In this video we take a closer look at what is a patch panel? How do i use a patch panel and what are the different options you can buy?
We start by a quick intro, followed by the different options you can buy, followed by how to set up and install a patch panel. I also give a quick demo on how trace your cabled back to the panel itself.

@@InsideWire but the question is; where's the out and in ports?

@robertthomson1994 6 күн бұрын

@@oricooper9525 from what I've gathered from the vid it's relatively the same thing as say a receiver (audio/theater) and a switch (network switch). Same as a switch in that it doesn't matter where the input is, as long as the output is the same as the cable labeled, so say your 24th port from your ubiquity into the 24th port on the patch panel, then out the back of the same patch and then wherever that cable then leads to say your computer in the bedroom upstairs. Same as a receiver in the sense that it acts as a distributor for the connectors say your HDMI cables as an example.

Does that VDV II come with the blue numbered RJ45 things (what are they called?) or are they a separate product?

@jdmboi Жыл бұрын

Question. Is the bottom part of the patch pannel the main internet output? Which you plugged the little lead into 1?

@kychemclass5850 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I wonder why switches don't come with a patch panel at the back of them? - It would save vertical space and look even more tidy.

@InsideWire 2 жыл бұрын

Not a bad idea but there are multiple reasons why you would want your patch panel like this also.

This was very helpful and simplistic. However the question I want to ask is..."which of the network switch ports do I use to get the signal from my router so that all the rest of the ports all carry the signal?" Is it port 24? Or is it one of the SPF ports?

@InsideWire Жыл бұрын

If you have a SFP port on your router you can use that or most likely you will need to use an ethernet Port which you can plug into the 24 port.

This is such a stupid thing to do in a residential house. just connect your runs to your damn switch and shut the closet door. You will not enter that room again unless your are a geek and play with your internet gadgets like you play with your privates.
