Is there a difference between standard patch cables and PAB cables.
That would be nice to know, it would be easier to make custom lenght cables if its standard cat5 cables.
We already offer PAB-cables up to 50m long.
You can try other similar cables, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted communication between the connected devices.
PAB cables are Cat5 ( I assume it might be a FTP-version) cables - its even stamped on the cable itself. I see no difference between a PAB and a CAT5 cable in any way.Quote:

Or any custom lenght.
Has the original cables T568A or T568B standard ?
I dont understand the unwillingness to aknowledge and help those who want to make their own cables.
A Thriving diy community is just positive.
You can use whatever standard you want as long as both sides are one to one and not a crossover cable (the same pin leads to the same pin on the other end).Quote:
