I have been reading and searching but not really found anything specific about patch panels other than some members use them. I already have a 5 camera system working fine with BI but would like to better organize my system as I add cameras. My home network also needs better organization. These are basically separate systems (BI computer connected to home network with a second NIC card as described in the WIKI on this website).
So I bought a V7 brand perforated 9U server rack to better organize my home network and my camera system into one central box. I already use Monoprice Cat6 cable and a Netgear GS108PP POE switch with BI. I am looking to purchase two Cable Matters 24 port patch panels (Amazon) for my new rack.
My question is there any advice on using patch panels? Any experience with this particular patch panel? Do patch panels introduce any interference? Drop voltages with POE switches? Anything to be aware of or watch out for?
Thanks in advance!
