Patch Panels and Cables

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

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

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

distribution cable rating.

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

each end,as shown in Figure C-3.

Key:

1 = RJ-45 plug

2 = Category 5e 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.
