This is probably going to sound like a rather lame sort of a question, but:
How exactly is a Cat 5 patch panel connected up (as in wired and the patch leads connected to it)?.
I've looked all over the Internet trying to find an explanation of how it is done, but I've come up empty-handed.
I'm fully conversant with IDC connectors and I've used them with Telephone systems here before, but I've never tackled a system that uses Telecoms and Data networking cables in the same panel before.
I'm starting the final fit-off of a new house I pre-wired ages ago for all of the TV, data, telecoms and AV systems.
The guy that owns the house has changed his mind and wants a patch panel installed.
I have no problems at all with the other systems, it's just that I have never installed a patch panel before and I'd like to be able to do the whole job myself.
HELLLLLPPPP!!!!

Thanks guys. [Linked Image]
