Greetings all.
Can someone help me understand how a patch panel works.
This one for example.
If you run one cat5 from each port to an outlet. I understand if you plug your internet rj45 into, for example, port 1, then the net will be distributed to outlet 1.
How would you get the net distributed to all outlets for example? Or say a selection of random outlets like 4, 18 and 23?
Are the colour coded blocks of 6 ports linked together? So If you plug the net into 1, 1-6 will receive it? I'm not sure that's right, but I'm confused!
Please help.
