Can I just say I'm glad that this channel is getting good sponsor deals? I remember binging the old comptia A+ videos like 5 years ago thinking this channel was such a gem. It was still relatively popular at the time, but I love seeing good things grow

[@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]

Agreed 💯

Great video! I really appreciate 🎉

[@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.

​@@MwishaLudackif you still need help finding one, in my country, its called a tone generator but on the videos ive watched they call it fox & hound /tone generator.

[@user-tb2vq8cg1k]

Great explaned!

[@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.

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.

Yes a patch panel helps in troubleshooting network issues. I had to redo my ancient install as the original install was a mess.

[@shaggydawg5419]

talking about a mess, I got one story. I have never seen "randomized" numbering... I mean, on the patch panel the numbering looks ok: 1, 2, 3 and so on. However, eth jack #1 can be at the front desk BUT eth #2 is NOT anywhere near jack #1. #2 can be anywhere in the building (at the back of the building for example). Then #3 jack isn't anywhere #2 either. It's somewhere in the building. What a complete mess.
