Patch Panels and Cables

If you are using patch panels,make sure that they meet the 100BASE-TX require-

ments.NETGEAR recommends Category 5 UTP cable for all patch cables and work

area cables to ensure that your UTP patch cable rating meets or exceeds the distri-

bution cable rating.

To wire patch panels,you need two Category 5 UTP cables with an RJ-45 plug at

each end,as shown in Figure C-3.

Key:

1 = RJ-45 plug

2 = Category 5 UTP patch cable

Note:Flat “silver satin”telephone cable may have the same RJ-45 plug.

However,using telephone cable will result in excessive collisions and cause the

attached port to be partitioned or disconnected from the network.
