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.
