To avoid interference between cables, layer cables as follows:
•
Use category-6A or above cables and connectors.
•
Do not bundle cables in their first 20 m (65.62 ft).
•
Separate power cords and twisted pair cables at and around the distribution frame.
•
For ports adjacent to one another on the device, the peer ports on the distribution frame are
preferably not adjacent, for example:
{
If the device connects to one distribution frame, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on the
distribution frame, port 2 on the device to port 3 on the distribution frame, and port 3 on the
device to port 5 on the distribution frame.
{
If the device connects to two distribution frames, connect port 1 on the device to port 1 on
distribution frame 1, port 2 on the device to port 1 on distribution frame 2, and port 3 on the
device to port 2 on distribution frame 1.
