  2. Patch panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_panel

    Patch panel. A pair of managed Gigabit Ethernet rack-mount switches, connected to the Ethernet ports on a few Panduit patch panels using Category 6 patch cables. (All equipment is installed in a standard 19-inch rack.) A patch panel is a device or unit featuring a number of jacks, usually of the same or similar type, for the use of connecting ...

  3. Structured cabling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling

    Structured cabling. In telecommunications, structured cabling is building or campus cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems. Structured cabling components include twisted pair and optical cabling, patch panels and patch cables.

  4. Patch cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_cable

    A patch cable, patch cord or patch lead is an electrical or fiber-optic cable used to connect ("patch in") one electronic or optical device to another for signal routing. Devices of different types (e.g., a switch connected to a computer, or a switch to a router) are connected with patch cords. Patch cords are usually produced in many different ...

  5. Punch-down block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch-down_block

    A split-50 M-type 66 block with bridging clips attached. A 110 punch-down block. A punch-down block (also punchdown block, punch block, punchblock, quick-connect block and other variations) is a type of electrical connection often used in telephony. It is named because the solid copper wires are "punched down" into short open-ended slots which ...

  6. Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable

    Ethernet crossover cable. An Ethernet crossover cable is a crossover cable for Ethernet used to connect computing devices together directly. It is most often used to connect two devices of the same type, e.g. two computers (via their network interface controllers) or two switches to each other. By contrast, straight through patch cables are ...

  7. Digital cross-connect system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_cross-connect_system

    Having a DCS in a circuit-switched network provides important flexibility that can otherwise only be obtained at higher cost using manual "DSX" cross-connect patch panels. DCS devices "switch" traffic, but they are not packet switches—they switch circuits, not packets, and the circuit arrangements they are used to manage tend to persist over ...

  8. Distribution frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_frame

    In broadcast engineering, a distribution frame is a location within an apparatus room through which all signals (audio, video, or data) pass, with the ability to arbitrarily route and connect sources and destinations between studios and other internal and external points. Connections can either be soldered, or made using terminal blocks.

  9. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, Ethernet switch, and, by the IEEE, MAC bridge[1]) is networking hardware that connects devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data to the destination device. A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at ...
