[@tweakmeup1]

I've seen so many server and switch rooms with patch panels that still has clutters of cables. They all look good and organized at the start, but after several years of maintenance all those cables will be cluttered and messed-up too. Truth be told, being organized does not rely on patch panels. It all depends on the personnel's that maintains it.

[@MrGoThrough]

Yes agree. And to add, most of the scenarios, the trigger point is when there is a need to add more cables, and this where things start of out hands. So, what we did is we setup everything in full, more cost but easier to maintain in long term.

[@martyduran123]

Another good use is you can now move equiepment up and down a rack with a patch panel since you only need to move cables from the front of the patch panel to a new device.

[@mulimotola44]

It could have been useful to show a real world example of how it helps in troubleshooting. For example, instead of second guessing which wall outlet the port is connected to, you see the wall outlet written in front of you, so there's no mistaking it, and no need to have another person on the other side to see if the light is blinking, to verify where the cable is going to

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Good point

[@MwishaLudack]

Hopefully they will soon design a piece of technology that tells from one end whether the light is blinking on the switch in the server room. I like your point.

[@JJFlores197]

@@MwishaLudack There are cable tracers for that use case. You plug a device that sends a tone throughout the cable. On the other end, you have a device that can pickup that tone. It is pretty useful when the labeling is not done yet or was done poorly or not at all. There are even more advanced testers that can tell you how long the cable is, if there are any breaks in the cable and many other pieces of information.

[@MwishaLudack]

@@JJFlores197 Oh, I think I've been missing the memo this whole time, I worked without the useful tool. I will be on a hunt for them without wasting time. I haven't been working smart in this regard. Thank you very much JJFlores197, this is helpful to me.

[@adamsuydam4122]

You forgot one thing. Most wire ran long distance over 50 ft is solid core wire. You dont want that being handled everyday being bent and twisted. A patch cable that takes over at the patch panel is stranded wire. Stranded wire can handle bending and twisting everyday, It will fail at some point but nowhere near as fast a solid core wire.

I dont even need this but its amazing.

[@jcclark2060]

I dislike loaded patch panels especially if they are not full. I always use unloaded patch panels as they are easier to work with, add additional cable drops, and make troubleshooting much easier. What are unloaded patch panels, they are blank and use keystones on the patch panel end as well. If you need to add drops you just clip the keystone in. With the loaded type you need to take the panel out to add. Additionally keystones are way faster to complete as I use a brand and tool that does all the punch down in one motion. Saves time which is valuable.

[@willbotch]

Thank You! Studying for my Core 1, defeated the Core 2, and they kept talking about patch panels in one section, idk how much I need to shove into my brainmeat about them but I got the idea down as a concept but needed a visual understanding like this to make it make since, thank you, you are very helpful.

I have one question. In this video, you said a small cable will connect the switch with the patch panel. Is this cable called the patch cord. ? I see some yellow color patch cords. But dont have much information about them. Where and Why are they used. ? Pls reply.

[@JJFlores197]

Its a standard ethernet cable, but we use the term "patch cable". The color doesn't necessarily matter. In well organized networks, you designate different colors for different purposes - say blue patch cable for computer work stations; green for VOIP phones; purple for security cameras, etc.

[@Obeymyswag01]

@@gamecubeplayer I'm on the support side. I take care of tickets submitted by staff members that usually just pertain to their devices. I do sometimes work with our Network Engineer. For example, if we need to set up a new printer whether wireless or wired. If the network goes down at one of our locations, I might go restart a router , switch, check on an access point, etc. Nothing too intricate.

[@blackermarket123]

This. Was a tight af idea for a video. Me from a decade ago would've loved you for making this, sir.

[@lancelotxavier9084]

If a line works directly to the switch but fails through a panel, check the length of the line. A line that is maxed out in distance may not have enough signal left to be reliable through a panel. The resistence through the panel may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. The panel is not powered and will not amplify the signal. Punch down is slightly less resistent than a rj45 on both ends.

@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos I suggest the next video be about networking protocols

[@padraigr9305]

But in order to know which device the back of the panel is connected to one still needs to be organised at the time of original connection . If this was done to the cables coming from the various rooms/devices and the cables labelled appropriately the same result can be achieved without the patch panel (albeit the panel is a bit tidier to look at from the front) ?

[@JJFlores197]

That is correct. A patch panel is not absolutely necessary, but it does make it easy when you have a large network to organize the cables. If you have a wing of 5 classrooms that all have 10 data drops, that's 50 ethernet cables going to a network cabinet. It is much easier to simply terminate those 50 cables into a patch panel and then label the data drops in the classroom and the panel accordingly.

[@DaveBoxBG]

Looks like this patch panel adds 1 more connection joint in the span of the cable. Does this degrade the quality of the signal?

[@JJFlores197]

I believe any type of junction does cause a bit of degradation, but in most instances its negligible. Patch panels are not absolutely necessary. However, most businesses or organizations with large networks use them for managing cables and ports. I work in school IT support. We have at least 10 data ports per classroom. Most wings have about 4-5 classrooms. That would be at least 40-50 ethernet runs from the classrooms to the network cabinet servicing that wing. Without patch panels, it would make the cabling incredibly messy going into the switch.
