Standard Line Types
« on: April 05, 2011, 01:05:56 PM »
Does anyone know of a standard linetpe to show CAT-5? cables?  All I've found is something like ----ENET-----ENET-----ENET and I don't want that.

Well, besides that fact that CAT-5 is a thing of the past, there is no standard linetype for it that he's aware of.  The closest he's seen is a continuous line with "CAT 5E" text thrown in.

This may be of some help in the future if you need to do a lot of voice & data drafting.

That's what I meant with the question mark.  Wasn't it obvious enough for you?  ;)

I'm actually after a linetype to show ethernet.  I guess I'll just pick one of the existing linetypes and adopt it as our standard.


Thanks Matt!

Please note that I would strongly advise at least Cat6
