Patch Panels and Cables
If you are using patch panels, make sure that they meet the 100BASE-TX requirements. Use
Category 5 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 5 UTP cables with an RJ-45 plug at each end, as
shown here.
