Easily one of the best IT channels on YT. Very easy to understand and doesn’t over complicate things! Thanks

i have never seen a youtube video that teaches and explains with such clarity. I just learned all i needed to know in one video. I just started my own business, wish me luck

Can I just say I'm glad that this channel is getting good sponsor deals? I remember binging the old comptia A+ videos like 5 years ago thinking this channel was such a gem. It was still relatively popular at the time, but I love seeing good things grow

Your videos are incredible!! The level of detail is so well balanced - not too complex but not too high lever either. And the animations are absolutely excellent - really help me to visualise everything as it would be in the real world. Please keep doing what you’re doing, you’re the best!

Everyone knows this is the place to come to learn. Easily, hands down, the best IT channel. Thank you for all the videos!

5 years in networking and today I learned about patch panel. 😂
My team never had to deal with it but I was always curious on how it works.

I've seen so many server and switch rooms with patch panels that still has clutters of cables. They all look good and organized at the start, but after several years of maintenance all those cables will be cluttered and messed-up too.
Truth be told, being organized does not rely on patch panels. It all depends on the personnel's that maintains it.

I love the dull background with smooth animation. Its soothing and for some reason helps me focus more on top of your always simple explanations! Thank you for making it easier for us!

I never started off as a network guy but I have come to love networking now because of this channel,

Dope content ✊🏾
I work at Yale New Haven Hospital.. I love the accuracy of the slides as compared to what it’s like in the server rooms. Spot on bro🔥🔥

Thank you! I am currently taking a networking class for network+ certification and this is really helpful in understanding how patch panels work.

[macthyaszix]

This is, by far, the best video about patch panels I've seen. Thanks!

[itenthusiast]

Never knew this device had so much use even though I have come across it many times. I am also now happy to know how to connect devices using keystone, switches and patch panel as shown in animation. Thank you sir ❤🎉👏👏

What a great video! I've worked as a technician and installer previously some years ago, so I know all the things you've gone through here, but you have really made it easy and of course as far as I'm concerned completely correct. This is really great videos for those learning, awesome job with all the animation and information!

Thank You! Studying for my Core 1, defeated the Core 2, and they kept talking about patch panels in one section, idk how much I need to shove into my brainmeat about them but I got the idea down as a concept but needed a visual understanding like this to make it make since, thank you, you are very helpful.
