The patch panel will be colour coded - you just need to make sure you're following the same scheme throughout.

This sounds similar to the installation I've put in here:

Full height 19" rack (ebay) on wheels so I can pull it out and get round the back.
STP cables come in at the bottom to 2 rows of 24-way patch panels
Above that there's a PoE switch (Netgear FS726TP) and next the wireless router (FWG114P)
Above that there the UPS (APC SmartUPS 1500 - heavy!) then a shelf with the two servers on. One runs Windows and the other CentOS and Asterisk.

Around the place we have lots of STP double sockets (eBay). Remember to number them and the patch panel!
