Splattne has covered what a patch panel is, and why it s different to a switch.

To answer the last part of your question: the reason that host network connections don t go direct to switches is generally to do with ease of management. For example, desk locations on an office floor can be cabled back to a wiring closet patch panel which is labeled with the locations. You can then connect short patches tails or whips between the patch panel and the switch. This makes re-patching desk locations for user moves etc much simpler, as the desk- patch panel runs don t need to be touched at all.

In a data centre, a similar argument applies. If a server needs to be moved to a different subnet that is on a different physical switch to the one it s connected to, having intermediate patch panels is very useful. For example, many server rooms have an MDF master distribution frame ; all servers and all switch ports are cabled back to labeled patch panels on this frame. Then, creating a connection between a server and a switch is a simple case of a patch between two ports on the frame, rather than needing to have floor tiles lifted to run a new end-to-end patch.

EDIT: To add a few sample cabling topologies:

1 User floors.

2 Data centres, centralised access.

Note in the above, you could have another cabinet patch panel in the switch cabinet; however when using large modular switches 240 ports per chassis, providing that many patch panel ports tends to use up valuable U-space in the cabinet; hence why these connections are often directly harnessed back to the master frame.

3 Data centres, distributed access end of row.

This kind of topology is often used with blade deployments, as the number of blade chassis you have deployed dictates precisely the number of ports you need to provision. Note the reduced physical flexibility, however - hosts must be cabled to switches in the same row. Your logical network design should take this into account.

4 Data centres, distributed access top of rack.

Potentially useful where you have a very homogeneous datacentre with lots of nodes with identical requirements.

Note these are just some examples - there are plenty of other approaches as well.
