Ensure all horizontal cable runs from the patch panel/switch/router(s) to individual work area faceplates are at least 3 meters (10 feet) to no more than 90 meters (295 feet). The 3 meter minimum allows collisions to be more easily detected.
Limiting the cable run to 90 meters reserves 10 meters (33 ft.) for patch cables at the patch panel and the device.
Ensure all faceplates, modular connectors, patch panels and patch cords are the same category as the selected cable. In other words, when you pull Category 6 cable, ensure all other components are rated for Category 6 as well. If you are installing shielded cable, all other components including the patch panel must provide a location to terminate the ground wire.
