There are two patch panels. One is a regular keystone jack (RJ45). The
other is a not so common connector. I am not sure of the naming convention.
It looks like an old IBM connector and it is for all of your serial
connections. It won't trip you up. Just look at the labels carefully and
you will be fine.

Chandra,
- The patch panel is about 7feet off the ground (to simulate a production
environment). You need to use your chair and climb on top of the table to
reach it. The table is electrified, wear rubber-soled shoes.
- You must crimp your own patch/xover cables to use on your lab; and you
have to use your barehands, no tools are provided.
- If you patch your serials in while standing upsidedown, you will be given
an extra point. (Backflips are worth 2).
- Bring an apple for your proctor. Bring some Excedrin for yourself.
- No IOS's are provided on your routers, you must write your own code (in
assembly).
- Everything is in Greek. If you're Greek, everything is in Chinese.
hope that helps,
-Brad

Hi all,
Can any one give me some idea on what kind of patch panel is used in the
lab exam, is it easy to figure it out? All this time I have been just
working on couple of routers with back to back cables. I have my lab
booked for 10th of this month.
Thanks
Chandra
