  • Leave slack for wiring in the patch panel

    Leave slack for wiring in the patch panel

    Leave enough slack for at least five feet of service slack, plus slack down to the patch panel. How much wire do you leave in the panel? Just curious as to what is your preference and why. I have seen a couple methods, both neatly done. The second is all wires come in the punchout. I run wire for a new network drop I usually run extra to start with and then I usually leave a slack loop of say 1-3 FT. While the fashion of minimal slack looks clean, I guess it works for *new install*. For example, in this brownstone of mine. Shielded patch panels are constructed from conductive metal that offers the ability to bond to ground, so that your cable shields can drain off unwanted Electromagnetic Discharge, Electromagnetic Interference, and Radio Frequency Interference (ESD/EMI/RFI).
