Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling
If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test
parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be
applied to try to correct the problem:
1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category
5e or 6 cables.
2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.
3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
