Looking above, there are three 'pairs' on this fiber run. Theoretically, you could cross any pair, but I think just about everyone would do this like the above picture. You plug in your fiber patch cables (at the top) and you use pair 1 for the first connection, pair 2 for the second, and so on. You get the idea, but this picture is looking inside the patch panel. This is what the cable guy would be doing before you get your equipment in place.
This is the retired Shane Killen personal blog, an IT technical blog about configs and topics related to the Network and Security Engineer working with Cisco, Brocade, Check Point, and Palo Alto and Sonicwall. I hope this blog serves you well. -- May The Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you, and bring you peace.
