Connectivity FAQs

Is it an ethernet patch cord or is it a telephone cord? Ethernet patch cords are wider than telephone cords. The two are typically not interchangeable. Make sure you are using a Category 5 ethernet patch cord to connect your computer. - How do we connect many students into 1 jack? Most rooms should have adequate ports to support the number of students in a particular room. In some cases there is a shortage of jacks and a network technician needs to come to the room to make a change.
