Cable Termination
Cable Termination
Cable termination equipment provides points where facility cabling may be easily
connected to jumper cabling. Cable termination equipment basically provides
endpoints for the raw facility cabling.
Patch Panel
A patch panel is a piece of cable termination equipment which connects raw
facility cabling to standard ports or connectors. These ports or connectors may
then be used for simplified connections to jumper cabling, allowing a single,
manageable point of access for several cables.
Patch panels are typically built to be mounted in a relay rack or enclosed
equipment cabinet. The front surface, or faceplate, of the patch panel provides a
series of modular ports or connectors, depending upon the media being
connected. The back of the patch panel is made up of a number of connection
points for facility cable.
The most common types of patch panels are those for twisted pair cabling (UTP
or STP) and for fiber optic cabling.
