All patch cables should be stranded. They move a lot more, and have a tigher bend radius than solid cable. I'd reccomend using pre-made patch cables to eliminate any chance of technician error while making them. Try to avoid patch cables with a "boot" as they are difficult to remove from...

The real issue here is the application. On a new build, I agree that 110 blocks are probably a better way to go. BIX are neat, but how neat are they if you don't have the tool -- I see that as a problem for overall efficiency. TouchToneTommy will point out that it's a pain to pop a buttset on...

That depends. If you're running in conduit, and it's attached to the outside of the building, and you're not jumping from building to building (ie. the conduit run is retrofit on the outside) then fiber would be a little much. I agree that it would be a more robust solution; however...

I'd simply terminate everything to Cat-5e jacks on the drop side, and a Cat-5e patch panel on the MDF/IDF side. From there, you can make a patch panel from your KSU ports... and use a patch cord from panel to panel to cross connect. A linecord will plug into a Cat-5e jack on the drop side no...

No problem, glad to help.

What's your intended purpose for this?

You just need to establish a POP (point of presence). Worst case scenario would require you to colocate some type of switching setup with a portmaster of some sort. The easier way to do that is like Lundah said, have the telco set up access lines that simply carry over to your existing pop...

The problem is TweakUI. It has a paranoia setting. Check it out, and if neccesary... reset it to "factory defaults".

Very true bospruell. They have a flip lid as well, very commonly used to conceal drop splices. But... I'd have to say those are about 2inx2in, not 4x4

Also, check Tools > Internet Options and see if it's set to clear history after X days.

Do you have TweakUI installed? Is this Windows XP? We're talking about Internet Explorer, right? Are you running SpyBot, Cleanslate, or Adaware?

Stymie, As the other guys stated: that's called a protector. SNI as bkrike said is the crazy term we use for that tricky box. You're describing the old school variety with a flip top lid I believe... not sure why you'd want to replace it? It does its job just fine, the newer variety have...

Yeah... I'd stick with ladder rack wherever possible. Flextray is cool for navigating around stuff, or raised floors... snaketray is an option as well, but I find myself leaning to ladder rack in most situations. It can support the bundle weight, it can support bundles being pulled (flext tray...

Hey... I've got a brand new Sony Vaio 710G MCE XP PC. My monitor runs at 1280x960 resolution, but the nvidia drivers max out at 1024x768 for my TV out. So basically, I have to resize my resolution on my monitor every time I want to watch TV on my TV-out or play a DVD on my TV-out. Is there...

Absolutely no reason to use category 5e cabling... considering that the telephone company's plant that delivers the T1 circuit to your facility is going to be Category 3 cable AT BEST, and most likely is not, and in some cases can even still be 26 guage cable. Granted, most carriers do prefer...

CTC... I'll have to look around. I want to say the unit was called the CTC 9975 BLT. Fluke bought out that portion of the company...

JTodd is actually an ICC rep in disguise. He secretly buys ICC products under a different name, but won't admit it to the rest of us! But seriously... What's this device you're talking about? A 25 pair at a time tester? I've never worked with such a product, I have however, seen a 25-100...

The only writable memory on a cable modem is erased upon reboot... because the modem downloads a new instruction package every time it syncs...

I wouldn't put a ground wire in the conduit... I would put a groundblock down in the basement where the cable comes out of the conduit, and then adequetely ground it there. But that's just me...

Yeah... 1" with a nipple into a deep single gang outdoor rated gasket box, and throw a hubble clearguard plastic dome decora style cover. 1" is because if you end up with more than one dish, or several dishes... you'll want that extra space to pull the 3 or 4 RG-6's through.
