Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T

If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three measures that can be applied to try and correct the problem:

1.Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e cables.

2.Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.

3.Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
