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.
