Hello, All,
I've to wire up a network with shielded cat5e, in a new building. The
electricians have put the cable in. I've to terminate both ends of the
cable and set up the network.
I think I know how to connect a shielded keystone jack and a shielded
plug, and to test the continuity of the cable. I think I know that you
need a shielded patch cable from the wall jack to the PC.
What I'm unsure of is exactly what happens at the plug/rack cabinet end.
Does the plug end of the cable go straight into the switch, or is
there a need for an intermediate shielded patch panel?
Any advice on this would be very gratefully received, as would any URLs
of helpful websites as to how to do a shielded cable network.
Many thanks,
Martin
