What connects to the back of the patch panel, and what plugs into the front?

The permanent installation cables are punched down onto the IDC blocks at the rear. The front RJ45 sockets are then patched to switches, routers or other equipment using ordinary patch leads.

It gives the rack a useful division of labour: fixed cabling behind the panel, flexible connections in front.

Why use a patch panel instead of putting plugs straight onto the permanent cables and connecting them to a switch? Does every wall outlet I want to use need a patch lead from the panel to a switch or router? Is this an active network device, or does the patch panel work without power? Does each patch-panel port represent its own cable run?
