Abstract:
Methods and systems for automatic CAT cable configuration are disclosed and may comprise configuring a single network interface to handle processing of signals communicated over differently coupled CAT cable configurations. One or more switching devices, which may comprise multiplexers or configurable switches, may be electronically or manually configured to couple a single network interface to one or more corresponding conductors associated with the CAT cable configurations. The configuration may enable at least a portion of the one or more switching devices and disable other portions of the switching devices. The single network interface may handle processing of data rates ranging from 1 BaseT to multi-gigabit speeds. The CAT cable configurations may comprise: CAT 3, CAT 4, CAT 5, CAT 5E, CAT 6, CAT 6A, CAT 7 and CAT 7A.
