Extending Cat5e / Cat6 Copper Wiring Greater than 300ft / 100m

Hi, I am aware there is a few ways to extend Cat5e and Cat6 greater than 300ft / 100m. Ways that I know of is to use an intermediary switch, use long range ethernet extenders, or even use media converters to convert the copper to fiber to carry a long distance and convert back to copper on the other end.

Someone told me that instead of an intermediary switch, that I could save on overall cost and just opt to use a patch panel instead. Is this true? Here is an example of what I mean: https://imgur.com/mj4sv9r

Is there any other ways of extending copper that I am not thinking of?
