4.2 About the Wiring Closet
A Repeater is typically installed in a wiring closet to make it possible to
connect the phone wires carrying network signals to the repeater with
short patch cables. While the wiring closet may seem like an intimidating
and confusing place, installing and wiring a Repeater there will be
surprisingly easy.
4.3 UTP Phone Wire
Repeaters are intended for use with 100-ohm unshielded twisted-pair
telephone wire (UTP) already installed in and between buildings.
Buildings, individual floors and wings of a building are often
interconnected with 25-, 50-, or 100-pair Level 2 UTP cables. One pair in
these is usually available for long-distance LAN connections.
