What is the difference between the permanent link and channel testing?
The permanent link includes only that portion of the cabling installation that is "permanent" (think punched down). It includes jack to rack -or- wall outlet to patch panel. One connector is allowed at each end but any patch cables must be accounted for and removed from the test results. This generally means you must use the cables that came with your test equipment so the equipment knows exactly what to subtract. The channel link includes two or more patch cables and may include multiple patch panels - possibly in multiple closets.
Why are patch panels required for cabling network?
Patch panels are not required for cabling a network. They fulfill the function of centralizing connections in an area, and allow for easy movement of workstations from network to network. In a wiring closet you may find many different connections that have to be connected from a router to the workstations on the floor. With a patch panel you can connect multiple systems from a wiring closet using horizontal wiring to the work areas very easily. This makes it easier to create wired networks but it is not absolutely required.
Where can you buy patch cables?
