Where to crossover fibre optic cable - 11/24/12 10:39 PM
What's the consensus out there for installing the crossover between two data switches that utilize a fibre tie cable?
I've always seen (and done it this way myself) that the tie cable is NOT crossed over at the patch panels. There would be ONE crossover patch cable in this case.
Recently, someone told me that the standard is to actually cross the pairs inside the patch panel.
Thoughts?
