The easiest way to create a patch connection is to drag and drop the source port on top of the destination port. 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 to begin the network connection.
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 patch cables.
Here you can also name your cable, check for the uniqueness of your cable name and print a barcode to label your physical network cable.
The connection overview is available below (4). Once all the selections are complete, click on finish to complete your single network cable connection.
