A subcontract job I'm doing includes extending the T1 from the demarc to the telco equipment wall in the tenent's office suite. The contractor has provided CAT5e UTP and jacks for this purpose. From what I gather, this is not the proper cable to use, and I should be using either a cable with individually shielded pairs, or two separate cables, each with an overall shield - one for transmit and one for receive. Is this correct?
Also, from what I gather, the pairs in use are 1&2 and 4&5 on an
8-position jack? So, using the UTP provided, I wired the extension as T568B at both ends. Aside from any issues that arise related to my first question, should this work?
