Floor (Horizontal) Telecommunications: Patch Cables
Patch Cables are used on either end of a data cable path to connect equipment to the cabling outlets. Since it is an extension of the cabling structure all considerations applying to quality of cabling must apply to patch cables to leverage the power and abilities of a modern cable installation. For this reason all patch cables used in new construction projects upon installation must be as specified by the revision level of the NetClear solution installed in the building.
