Network rack, 24-port Cat6 patch panel and PDU — a business install in Salisbury, MD.

What was installed

  • A wall-mounted rack on a plywood backboard, beside the electrical panels
  • A 24-port Cat6 patch panel with the runs terminated and patched to the switch
  • Network switching and firewall at the top of the rack
  • A rack-mount PDU so everything is powered from one place
  • A mesh access point mounted on the backboard

Why it’s laid out this way

Backboard first. Plywood on block walls gives everything a solid mounting surface, with room left to grow.

Patch panel, not loose cables. Every run lands on a numbered port. Moving a desk or adding a printer becomes a patch-cable change, not a new cable pull.

One place for power. A PDU in the rack keeps the gear off a tangle of power strips.
