Conclusion
For optimum performance of your 1000BASE-T product, it is important to fully qualify your cable 
installation and ensure it meets or exceeds ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A:1995 or ISO/IEC 11801:1995 
Category 5 specifications. Install Category 5e cable where possible, including patch panel cables. 
Minimize transition points, jacket removal, and untwist lengths. Bundling of cables must be 
properly installed to meet the requirements in ANSI/EIA/TIA-568A-3.
