In this page the steps to connect network cables between passive-active and active-active components will be described.

There are multiple ways to create network cabling in Pathfinder but they all fall under either the (1:n) or (n:n) connection rule. The network cabling can be done from the cable management section or from the cabinet itself.

First, a simple 1:1 port connection. You can select and hold the source port (1) from a component and then drag and drop it on the destination port (2) of a component.

You can also right click on a port and select single or parallel patching.

Once you have selected the two ports, you can then select the cable definition (3). Since both the ports are Ethernet ports, the cable definition and naming rules are automatically selected for twisted pair cables.

The connection overview is available below (4). Once all the selections are complete, click on finish to complete your single network cable connection.
