Fiber optic cable connected to Category 6 panel
Install solid-copper Cat6 for most room drops, use Cat6A selectively for harder-to-revisit multigig or PoE runs, and terminate to keystones and a patch panel. Category 6 and Category 6A cables are the dominant media comprising today's copper-based networks. These twisted-pair copper cables are deployed primarily for horizontal links in local area networks (LANs) to enable IP-based communication and deliver power over Ethernet (PoE) to networked devices. Fiber optic patch panels are enclosures that act as a distribution hub for fiber cable.
