Patch Panels and Cables
If you are using patch panels, make sure that they meet the 100BASE-TX requirements.
NETGEAR recommends 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 in
Figure 5-3 .
Key:
1 = RJ-45 plug
2 = Category 5 UTP patch cable

Note: Flat “silver satin” telephone cable may have the same RJ-45 plug. However, using
telephone cable will result in excessive collisions and cause the attached port to be
partitioned or disconnected from the network.
