BLACK CAT CAT5 PATCH PANELS

Figure 3-2. Using a punchdown tool to hardwire the Panel.

7. Push the tool and punch the wire down. The tool

will force the wire into the contact gap and lop off

the wire’s protruding end.

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for each of the seven other wires.

That’s all there is to it. Repeat this process for all of the

cables you would like to hardwire to the Black Cat CAT5

Patch Panel.

Once you have finished hardwiring cables, put a

connector cap on each of the Panel’s Type 110 connectors

that you have left empty. Now you can attach and

remove patch cables terminated with RJ-45 plugs to and

from the active sockets on the front of the Panel at will.
