Patch Panels and Cables
If you are using patch panels, make sure that they meet the 100BASE-TX require-
ments. NETGEAR recommends Category 5e 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 5e UTP cables with an RJ-45 plug at
each end, as shown in Figure C-3.

However, using telephone cable will result in excessive collisions and cause the
attached port to be partitioned or disconnected from the network.
