My son is at college. &nbsp;they have LAN connector to network at his desk.<br />
<br />
I sent him a cat 6 jumper cable to go from the lan jack to his PC. &nbsp;he said it didn't work. &nbsp;he had to use a cat5e cable. &nbsp;I tested the cat 6 cable and it passes for continuity / straight through, like the cat5e he used.<br />
<br />
he said someone else in the dorm said the same thing - cat 6 wouldn't work for them. had to use cat 5e.<br />
<br />
I thought cat6 is interchangeable with cat 5e jumpers for a 10 / 100 network? &nbsp;That anywhere you'd use a 5e jumper, you could use cat 6? &nbsp;No?!

Cat 5e vs. cat 6.  Cat 6 doesn't work in some situations?!

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
