A patch panel is a panel with a large number of connection sockets, to which temporary or permanent connections can be made with cables (patch cables). Modern office buildings usually contain a patch panel for making telephone and network connections. There are a number of sockets with RJ-45 jacks in each workspace. These are connected to the jacks on the central patch panel. The connections for the home telephone exchange and the Internet also end on the patch panel. The patch panel includes a large number of RJ-45 cables with a length of 1 to 2 meters. If you want to connect a telephone or computer somewhere and connect it to equipment elsewhere in the building, you only have to make a connection between two jacks on the patch panel.
