In our office we have a gigabit LAN driven by Netgear ProSafe switches. I am trying to increase our throughput and am wondering if some of our patch panels could use an overhaul. I don't see any sort of ratings on them and they are about 10 years old. My best throughput numbers I see right now are 268Mbps. After reading some other posts that seems within what people would find acceptable but thought I should ask all the same.
Thanks,

Unless you are getting errors through them, then no. Your patch panels are fine, and would be the last thing at the bottom of a long list of items to look at.
