Re: Cat5 or Cat5e Patch Panel

[Stuart Grimshaw <stuart.grimshaw@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the home, I doubt very much if you'd see any difference between
cat5 & cat5e. The main difference is all in the way you wire it, the
radius of bends the length of cable ends where they enter patch ports
etc etc.

I don't even know whether my patch panels are cat5 or cat5e :-)
