I am stuck on what should be a simple wiring issue. I traced a wire to punch in on back of patch panel, it is cat 5 twited pair. I assume the other end has to be pinned out as a straight through since going to pc ? I have tried 568 a and b and no luck, any help would be appreciated. thanks. or do I need to match pin ou on cable running from front of patch panel to switch?

Some are A and some are B.

It is BEST to go from a patch panel to a wall mount jack, and THEN a patch cable to go from the wall jack to the PC.

Yes, it would be straight through from the switch, all the way to the pc.

Got a cable tester? test each segment, one at a time, and then test it from end to end.

Good luck.
