Explanation
A patch panel is a mounted hardware assembly that acts as the central termination point where all horizontal network cables from individual wall jacks throughout a building area are punched down and organized. Technicians then use short patch cables to connect ports on the patch panel to network switches. A demarc (demarcation point) is where the service provider's network ends and the customer's network begins. A CSU (Channel Service Unit) interfaces a T1/T3 line. A smart jack is the network interface device installed by the carrier at the demarc.
