      ​@@oricooper9525 from what I've gathered from the vid it's relatively the same thing as say a receiver (audio/theater) and a switch (network switch).
      Same as a switch in that it doesn't matter where the input is, as long as the output is the same as the cable labeled, so say your 24th port from your ubiquity into the 24th port on the patch panel, then out the back of the same patch and then wherever that cable then leads to say your computer in the bedroom upstairs.
      Same as a receiver in the sense that it acts as a distributor for the connectors say your HDMI cables as an example.

    My small commercial office building has numerous internet wall connections. So yes I have built my own patch panels in the data room. Saves the IT hack from just cutting the end off like some cable tv guy would do!

    I wonder why switches don't come with a patch panel at the back of them? - It would save vertical space and look even more tidy.

      @InsideWire  2 года назад

      Not a bad idea but there are multiple reasons why you would want your patch panel like this also.

    This was very helpful and simplistic. However the question I want to ask is..."which of the network switch ports do I use to get the signal from my router so that all the rest of the ports all carry the signal?" Is it port 24? Or is it one of the SPF ports?

    • @InsideWire
      @InsideWire  2 года назад +2

      If you have a SFP port on your router you can use that or most likely you will need to use an ethernet Port which you can plug into the 24 port.
