Krone? Are you sure? I've run across Krone very seldom. One site out
of quite a few.. Are you sure its not 110 style instead?

If you aren't sure about reterminating patch cables, its going to save
you hours of frustration just buying the proper sized patch
cables. They are cheap, you can get patch cables at just about any
home store/electronics store in a wide variety of sizes.

There are a few patch panels that have keystone holes in them, but
they usually are more expensive to be so modular. Generally, if you
mess up a patch panel, you have to replace the whole thing, or skip
using that port. Its pretty hard to mess up one though..

Let's get straight. I have already straight trought (patch) cabels wich are
some 20-50ft long. So I want to cut plugs from them and terminate them with
sockets and in patch panel. Would it work?

cables.

Should be pretty self-explanitory once you have it. Almost all the
experience comes in with speed and being able to dress the cables to
make it look nice in the end. Strip the jacket, split/unwind the
pairs, match the colors and push them through the slots a little.
Punch down with the punch-tool. (Only gotcha is that many wiring
things have the colors for both 568-A and 568-B on them. Choose one,
use it consistantly, don't switch them around.

No. Patch cables are made with stranded wire so they bend and can
flex without getting loose in the connections. You can't punch
stranded wire, just doesn't work at all. You need to buy solid cable
to punch down with. You can buy it by the foot at Home Depot/Lowes.
