Intellinet

Intellinet network cabling is gathered here. It includes CAT6e boot patch cords in 2 ft lengths in blue and black, a Gigabit Ethernet to SFP media converter and a multi-mode ST Fast Ethernet media converter.

Installers use patch cords to link switches to patch panels, and color coding keeps racks tidy. Media converters let copper gear connect over fiber across a long run. For help picking the right cable or converter, call the KX-TD team at (866) 205-4112.

Intellinet cable buying guide

Boot patch cords

Intellinet lists CAT5e boot patch cords from 0.5 ft to 10 ft and CAT6e boot patch cords in 2 ft and 7 ft lengths. Colors include black, blue, gray and purple. Short cords suit a neat rack, and longer ones reach across a desk. Measure the distance first.

Using colors

Colors help you tell services apart. For example you can assign one color to phones and another to data. Pick a scheme before you order a larger quantity so the rack stays easy to read, and so you can find a cable by sight.

Media converters

A media converter lets copper Ethernet equipment connect over fiber. The listed models cover Gigabit Ethernet to SFP and Fast Ethernet over multi-mode SC and ST fiber. Check the connector type on your fiber and the speed of your equipment before you order.

Keeping racks tidy

Choose short cords for neat racks and avoid sharp bends. Label each end if you can. Use one color per function, and keep spare cords in the lengths you use most. Check cord length against the distance between patch panel and switch before you order.

Common questions

What does a boot do on a patch cord?

The molded boot protects the connector and helps it release cleanly.

Do I need to match both ends of a media converter?

Yes. Both ends must use compatible fiber type and speed.

Can you recommend a cord or converter?

Yes. Tell us the equipment and distances, and use contact us.
