Abstract
A patch panel includes a plurality of signal input terminals, an output module having a plurality of signal output terminals and at least one standby signal output terminal, and an adapter module having a slide board and a plurality of sliding blocks slidably mounted on the slide board. Each of the sliding blocks includes an electrical contact mounted thereon and connected to a corresponding signal input terminal. The slide board includes a plurality of electrical terminals mounted thereon and respectively connected to the signal output terminals of the at least one standby signal output terminal. The electrical contacts of the sliding blocks selectively electrically contact the electrical terminals of the slide board by sliding of the sliding blocks from an initial position to another position.
