I keep seeing switch boxes in walls and some on racks and wanted to know how they are wired since the back of the panel is just a board and pins.

Pictures would be nice, I'm a visual person :D
 
The panel with all the pins on the back has corresponding RJ-45's on the front, you terminate all your cable runs to the back of the panel then use short patch cables to connect the ports on the patch panel to the ports on the switch. This allows you to easily switch your jacks around the house, business, etc to any port on your switch also in case you need to move one.

There have been some nice pictures of users personal set ups posted here but I can't find one with the search being dead, hopefully someone will post you a pic.
