Hi all – Is fiber typically run through a patch panel and switch before hitting the router, like Cat 6?
If so, how does the patch panel work? I can't tell from pictures I see on the web. I assume there's no equivalent to punching down wires as with twisted pair. Is a fiber patch panel just a coupler with, say, LC duplex on both sides?
Thanks.
