I just read an article which stated:
"Generally solid core cable is used for connecting between the wall socket and the socket in the patch panel whilst standard cable is used for the patch leads between hubs/switch and patch panel socket and between wall port and computer."
I'm new to networking/cabling so am not sure what to believe, as i assumed it was ok to use standard cat5 cable? If not, what exactly is solid core cable?
