Wiring Closet Connections
Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the
newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel.
Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this
type of equipment follows.
1. Attach one end of a patch cable to the port on the 1000BASE-T
module, and the other end to the patch panel.
2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to
the back of the patch panel where the punch-down block is
located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet.
3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting.
