Installation Guide for the Model FS518 Fast Ethernet Switch 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 C-3. 1 2 1 87654321 87654321 5525.1 Key: 1 = RJ-45 plug 2 = Category 5 UTP patch cable Figure C-3. Category 5 UTP Patch Cable with Male RJ-45 Plug at Each End 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. C-4 Cabling Guidelines
