I have two patch panels (currently) but expect that they'll be expanding at 
some point.

PP1: Located in each rack. Cables from each machine connected to the production 
interface link the machine to this first type of patch panel.

PP2: "The other end" of the patch panel #1 above is a PP in a rack slot at my 
central row. A cable goes from this patch panel to the Cisco master switch to 
connect the production interface to the net.

My guess is that this is the simplest style of PP usage.
