I think it's awesome that you do videos on the physical side of networking. I started off as a cabling/DC engineer and that built such a great foundation, which has helped me massively in my network engineering career - Great job Jeremy!
Oh, you're sharing your CBT nuggets guides on youtube as well? Nice! You're one of my favorite presenters there. At the beginning your unending enthusiasm was annoying since the course I was forced to study by my company was horribly boring (A+) and I was in bad mood because of it, but eventually it grew on me and it made studying for that boring cert much less burdensome and more fun. Thank you!
I am a fan of keystone panels, reason being if a physical port dies on the patch panel it is easier to replace an individual keystone instead of a group of ports. They rarely die but I have seen lightning take out a few patch panels.
That "swinging" rack is a great idea! Never seen one around here, we usually screw the patch panel in reverse to cable them... not as easy to work with....
Thank you for this video I'm really glad that you brought this up In my opinion, physical cabling must me thought in CCNA to fill the gap that many fresh engineers struggle in the real world Many don't know how to even install a 6U cabinet with a 24 patch panel and switch I think that can be solved if Cisco includes this topic to the CCNA so the engineers become familiar with cabinets, patch panels, cables, and cables organizers and the best practices
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. These types of real-world videos give engineers a view into things you don't normally learn on your certification journey
Ah the patch panel. I prefer the copper/fiber modular panel over a full cat5 or cat6 patch any day. Sometimes you a site requires a non-modular patch, like hundreds of drops. If not then modular patch panel is the way to go. IMO. Works great 👍🏾 I'm your home as well.
Great video... I have to connect 12 cat 6 cables. Is it better to go with a keystone patch or punch them directly into the patch panel? This is my first time doing this..
I don't understand why americans still use panels without keystones in 2020. That is 1990's tech... the individual wires tend to get untwisted out of spec.

Agreed, it's very important to see both sides of the networking, hardware and software!

I like the unloaded Key stone patch panels as well. I think its a lot easier to dress the cables. Looks way cleaner
@@MactelecomNetworks Would u use feedthrough panel and buy the needed length of patch cords?
such as HDPP-48-C6?
Ricky I personally would not use that no. I buy boxes of cable of 1000 feet and then terminate the ends on keystone jacks

Great content. Thanks Jeremy
Great series! I really love your videos. This and later videos in the series reference pulling the cables, but I cannot find that video. Where is it?
Last week I finished 548 cables in one IDF :-)
if it's your first time, your fingers need rest, of not, you're ready to rock n' roll baby! 🤣
Hi there Jeremy, very nice/easy vids!.
QQ: I’m thinking to buy passthrough patch panel. Does it downgrade the speed or something?
Thx!

Your 8-port patch panel has 12 ports. What are the extra 4 ports for? :)

First
Haven't done that in years! oh the nostalgia!
