Using Patch Panels
Follow the steps below to connect a VDSL switch to a building’s
phone-line system using a patch panel:
1. Connect an RJ-21 cable from the patch panel to the RJ-21 connectors
on the rear of the switch labeled “VDSL.” If connecting to a pre-wired
patch-panel with an RJ-21 connector, use a cable with RJ-21
connectors on both ends, otherwise a cable with free wires at one end
will have to be punched down to the back of the patch panel.
2. Connect each port on the front of the patch panel to one end-user
phone-line connection. This connection can be direct to the building’s
phone-line punch-down block or via another patch-panel.
3. Label the cables to simplify future troubleshooting.
