A patch panel, for those of you who don't know, is a panel which is often rack-mounted and allows you to plug patch leads (short, stranded-core Ethernet cables) into the front side of the panel and the back side of the panel holds the longer, permanent (solid-core, building wiring) Ethernet cables.IA/EIA-568B is a standard for commercial building cabling.

That is, how we connect the 8 wires within an Ethernet cable to a patch panel or RJ45 socket or face plate. There are two specifications: T568A & T568B.
