NOTES

For the best results, it is suggested you use pure copper and not copper clad aluminum and use solid, riser rated cable and not stranded cable. Stranded cable has ~20% higher signal attenuation than solid, so its runs need to be shorter.
Contiguous cable runs are preferred. The use of network punch down into patch panels and keystone jacks adds attenuation and runs need to be shorter.
The use of EZ-45® connectors are not recommended as the cable extends outside the end of the RJ45 connector and can act as an inductor of noise.
