A fiber patch panel is a mounted enclosure—either rack-mounted or wall-mounted—used to terminate, manage, and interconnect multiple fiber optic cables. It acts as a hub for organizing splices and patch cords, streamlining fiber management and preserving signal integrity. They act as distribution hubs where incoming bulk fiber cables are terminated and organized into individual strands that connect to network. Fiber optic patch panels are enclosures that act as a distribution hub for fiber cable.

An Ethernet patch panel is typically a metal frame with rows of RJ45 ports on the front and punch-down or keystone terminations on the rear. They come in a range of sizes, and are typically mountable, whether that's on a wall, or on a rack to make for easier. Patch panels are used to bring cables run from individual end devices such as computers and servers to a single location where they can be patched to other equipment using patch cables. Unlike active devices that process data, a patch panel simply provides structured termination points for each Ethernet cable run, creating a clean, scalable. A patch panel is a passive hardware unit that consolidates multiple network connections in one location. Rack height is measured in rack units (U).
