Network Wiring Connections
The punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is a 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 an available port on the switch, 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.
