[@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 💯

[@macthyaszix9394]

I love that the screws spin a little in the visualizer to mimic how you screw the panel inside a server rack.

[@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.

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.

Thank you so much for your fantastic video. Please teach us all extra low voltage systems as soon as possible

[@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.

thank you i already knew it and worked with it. But in this video i could understand much better

[@bichela]

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.

[@kristonr6188]

Thank god for this channel!

[@KarlM-kx3wd]

exactly what i was looking for, thanks a lot!

[@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.

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.

[@rhezawinahyu5377]

great contect, really easy to understand. thanks for sharing. :D

[@prodigys9823]

Excellent video once again

[@purplecrayon7281]

The purpose of patch panels isn't to make cabling neater or organized (since you could also organize neatly on the switch itself) but to eliminate you plugging and unplugging the switch directly. Switches are expensive, patch panels are not. The more you poke the switch interfaces every time the network changes, the more likely it will break.

[@JJFlores197]

That is accurate, but it is far more like that the cable run will fail over time rather than the switch ports.

[@advlive]
