Please log in for more thread options I have to connect 4 3com superstack switches as one unit. 3 of them are standing in a patch room (no problems) but the fourth one a have to take to a another level in the building. Witch cable do I use (cat5,cat6 or fiber or ????) and how many meters may this cable be? Thanks Crack4u systemengineer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Cut the ends off of it, and solder RJ45s to the 14 gauage wire. Make sure you use Radio Shack solder too. Also, I prefer to use orange colored extension cords. LOL No, just kidding. Anything over 328 feet use fiber...else Cat 5e | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
