Copper patch panels and frames for structured cabling.
A patch panel is where your building's network cables end in the rack. Each cable gets its own numbered port, and short patch leads then connect those ports to your switch.
How do I choose a patch panel?
Match the cable: choose a panel rated for the cable you're using, such as Cat5e or Cat6.
Count the ports: one port per cable run, plus spares for later.
Check the rack: make sure the panel fits your cabinet or frame.
