What is the correct way to diagram a Patch Panel? I am creating a network diagram for my local LAN. I would like to include a patch panel diagramming what physical location (office) each port goes to, as well as the devices in that office. I have attached what I have created below, but I am unsure that this is the best way to do this. What is the correct way to diagram physical locations that a patch panel goes to within a Network Diagram? ![Patch Panel](

Typically you diagram network connections, and then make good use of labeling the physical patch panel and cables. The reason for this is patch panels are only a physical pass through, If you are troubleshooting at that point, then you should be looking at it in person.

Here is a good link for some network diagrams link

I would diagram out the network from a layer2/3 perspective and go through the patch panels and physically label everything including the patch panel and the cables.
