Industry-standard patch panel's definition

patch panel management subsystem is the most important component, is to achieve two vertical lines and horizontal cabling subsystem cross-connect hub. patch panel is usually industrial terminal block installed in a cabinet or on the wall. By mounting accessories, patch panel can meet the full range of UTP, STP, coaxial cable, fiber, audio and video needs. Commonly used in network engineering has UTP patch panels and fiber optic patch patch ISO / IEC 11801: 2002 patch - apply to the jumper wires connected fixtures. It enables the system to move and change the wiring is more convenient. ANSI TIA / 568-B patch panel - easy to manage cross-connect system consists of pairs of connectors  composition. The effect of UTP patch panel will be twisted in the management of cross-connect subsystems used in each room and the distribution line of the main wiring. Many models UTP patch panels, each vendor has its own Barrier terminal block product line, and the corresponding three categories, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6 and Category 7 cables were different sizes and models, in specific projects , you should refer to the product manual, be configured according to the actual situation. Fiber optic patch panel's role is in the management of the cable will be connected subsystems, usually between the main line and distribution lines between each.
