ENTERPRISE PATCH PANELS

Patch panel ports are configured to accommodate Ethernet cables in an enterprise network‎.‎ In an enterprise network‎,‎ a patch panel serves as a sort of static switchboard‎,‎ using cables to interconnect network computers within a LAN and to outside lines including the internet or other wide area networks ‎.‎ Patch panels can also be used to interconnect and manage fiber optics cables

A patch panel uses patch cords ‎,‎ a sort of jumper cable‎,‎ to create each interconnection‎.‎ Circuits can also be rearranged by plugging and unplugging respective patch cords‎.‎ Enterprises and other organizations often place patch panels in a wiring closet‎,‎ a small room where networking and other electrical connections are made‎.‎

Patch panels are usually attached to network racks‎,‎ either above or below network switches and take up 1U or 1.75 inches of space‎.‎ Patch cords connect the ports in the patch panel to ports in the network switch‎,‎ which creates permanent port connections to the switch that won’t be interrupted during moves‎,‎ adds and changes ‎(‎MACs‎)‎‎.‎
