EIA/TIA 568-B Termination
IMPORTANT:
Stranded or patch cables are not recommended due to performance issues.
•
CAT5e cables should use only CAT5e RJ45 connectors
•
CAT6 cables should use only CAT6 connectors
•
CAT6a cables should use only CAT6a connectors
•
CAT7 cables should use only CAT7 connectors
Using the wrong size connectors may result in interference causing loss of signal.
