Network Wiring 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 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.
