8 Port Cat6 Data Module If you want to set up a wired network that includes multiple wall ports in various rooms, a patch panel in a central location can provide a simple, neat, and easytomanage solution. Patch panels bundle multiple network ports together to connect incoming and outgoing lines including those for local area networks, electronics, electrical systems, and communications.When patch panels are part of a LAN, they can connect computers to other computers and outside lines. Those lines, in turn, allow LANs to connect to wide area networks or the Internet. A patch panel with eight ports should suffice for most home networks, but its easy to expand when you need more capacity. Troubleshooting problems are simplified with patch panels since they provide a single location for all input jacks. Features. 8 x 4 pair 110 IDC Network Board for Wiring Termination Enclosure.
