You are setting up a new office network and organizing the cabling using a patch panel. What is the primary reason for employing a patch panel in this network setup?
To serve as a central point for cable organization and management.
To convert the electrical signaling from analog to digital.
To act as a firewall and improve network security.
To increase the data transfer speed across the network.
A patch panel is used as a central point to connect and manage the cables from network devices to the ports on the network switch, making the cabling infrastructure neater and more organized. It simplifies cable management by offering a single location where all network cables can be easily connected, disconnected, and rerouted. This greatly aids in maintaining a clear and manageable networking environment within the office space.
