Cable tray or patch panel
A patch panel connects cables to switches, routers, or other devices. It makes it easier to connect, disconnect, and reconfigure cables, simplifying connections between devices and making maintenance or upgrades more convenient. They come in a range of sizes, and are typically mountable, whether that's on a wall, or on a rack to make for easier cable and port management. A patch panel is one of those components that is easy to overlook when planning a network — it does not switch, route, or process data, and to the uninitiated it can look like an expensive way to add an extra set of connectors between the cable and the switch.
