It’s been too long for me, somewhere around 20 years away from the nitty-gritty of it, and out of curiosity I’m wondering what the unique comb shaped traces are for on the back side of this Cat-6 termination. There may be more strangeness on the top side, but it’s covered by the punch-down block and the label.
My residence is wired with Cat-5e, my network switch is 12 port Gigabit, the Router is a dual band Gigabit type and the fiber Modem is rated at 10G but the actual set up is for 1G.
Thank You, That seems logical the traces DO look like some sort of capacitor now that I think of it.
Hummm…
So the follow up question is; what about the terminations I have installed that do not have the “tuning” for higher speeds?
And, (I did not think this out, but), it it true for both T568A and T568B? Cancel that.
The pairs used are 1&2 and 3&6.
In T586A, 1&2 are the green pair and 3&6 are the orange pair
In T586B, 1&2 are the orange pair and 3&6 are the green pair
So, as stated in:
“From a technical standpoint, there is no difference between T568A and T568B. Both standards have the same transmission performance and can support the same Ethernet protocols, including Gigabit Ethernet.”
