Patch panels is mainly used in central office to the front-end information management point of modular equipment. After front-end information point cable (CAT6 patch panelor CAT5E patch panel Ultra line) entry into the equipment room patch panels, patch panels will be playing in the module line, and then use the jumper (RJ45 interface) connector patch panels and switch. Overall, the patch panels are used to manage the device, for example, if there is no patch panels, front access information points directly to the switch, then if the cable has the problems of re-wiring. In addition, management is also a bit confusing, multiple plug may cause damage to the switch port. Patch panels can resolve this problem, you can replace the jumper to achieve better management.
The Usage and consumption of patch panel is mainly based on the number of overall network point or the floor (and close to floor, depending on how the design of the system diagram) the number of network points configuration. Different building, different system designs, the main patch panels between devices will be different. For example, a building is only four, the main equipment room set in the floor, all floors of the network points are to enter the equipment room, then the number of patch panels is equivalent to the construction of all the network points / patch panels port number (24 port, 48 ports, etc.), plus got to margin; if a building has 9 floors, the main equipment room set at 4 layer, then in order to avoid long cable, you may partakers devices located on each floor, and there is exchange of equipment. So the main patch panels between devices on the network points is equal to the number of Layer 4 / patch panels ports (24, 48, etc.).
