What is a Patch Panel? A patch panel is a device with multiple ports that helps organize and connect network cables in a structured way. Instead of plugging all devices directly into a switch, cables first connect to the patch panel. 🔹 Organizes cables neatly → keeps setup clean and professional 🔹 Protects switch ports → reduces wear and tear from constant plug-ins 🔹 Easier cable tracing → quickly find which device is connected where 🔹 Adds flexibility → simple to manage changes without touching the main switch Keeping your network organized, secure, and easy to manage is what a patch panel is all about.

Tagged/Untagged vs Trunk/Access. Which one is easier to configure and what is the main differences ? Basically, tagged port = trunk port and untagged port = access port. Tagged or Trunk means the port can carry multiple VLAN ID. For Untagged or Access means the port cannot carry multiple VLAN and only can have one VLAN ID. So, can you guys share the differences between each other ?
