Comments by "Javier Flores" (@JJFlores197) on "Structured Cabling Discussion: Working With CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A \u0026 Shielded Patch Panels" video.
The other two answers are good as well. You could technically put an RJ45 connector and plug the cable directly into the switch and it will work. However, you don't want to do this because those cables aren't really meant to be moved around a lot. From the patch panel, you would plug in a patch cable to the switch to make the connection. This makes it easier to troubleshoot and not have to worry about potentially damaging the cable and having to re-run it.
