Patch panel
Hi,
We are rewiring our office with cat6e. I have a few questions,
1. do people still use patch panel? (it has been a while, I do not know if there are better technology now)
2. Is a Cat6 patch panel compatible with Cat6e cable? thanks

thank you
Your very welcome :)
CAT 6e is not an EIA/TIA standard, did you mean 6a perhaps? If so 6A cable is thicker than CAT6. I know that they sell 6A-specific connectors and patch panels, so I believe that they are different and would not fit in a CAT6 panel due to size. Not 100% sure on that part though
