[cisco-voip] "Normal Through" patch panel?

[Philip Walenta]

I know what you're talking about and I'd swear I've seen Panduit, Orttronics
and others with this exact patch panel type.

I'll be at Networkers in two weeks, I'll refresh my memory then :)

This satisfies the RJ-21 connector requirement, but it isn't a "normal
through", and it seems like it's just for voice.

My ideal "normal through" patch panel has two CAT6 cables coming in per each
CAT6 connector.  As mentioned in the first message in the thread, the "top"
set of punch downs for each jack goes back to the switch, and the "bottom"
set of punch downs for the jack is actually the wire going out to the
location.  So even with no patch cord in the jack, those two
CAT6 cables are already connected to each other.
