Patch Cabinets Question

[swinnie]

I know what Patch Cabinets are and what they are used for.

But how do they work. The signal comes in on one switch and then passes it to another switch which patches a port. Or have I got this completely wrong

Ahhh, I get it now. I just had it pictured wrong (Silly me!)

Thanks Chief Wiggum!

I help with the IT at school and the patch cabs are horrible.

When I finish early as im in Year 11 the school are taking me on for 8 week contract work and i feel the patch cabs will be the focus of attention for me!
