Chapter 2: System Configuration

1.3 Network Wiring Connections

Today, the punchdown 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:

Step 1: Attach one end of a patch cable to an available port on the switch, and the other end to the patch panel.

Step 2. If not already in place, attach one end of a cable segment to the back of the patch panel where the punchdown block is located, and the other end to a modular wall outlet.

Step 3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting. See Chapter 6 of the Gigabit Managed Switch Quick Start Guide: “Labeling Connections.“
