    Cannot run Cisco poE on shielded cable

    Don't confuse coincidence with the cause. Possibly you made the second connector correct and the original was not punched down correctly. I would be curious to know how you resolved this. Clint https://www.politoninc.com/service-area/denton.html

    Premise wiring... Who's the Mac-daddy?

    Leviton is what we use. Easy, no special tools, and a decent price. We install several thousand cables per year. Clint https://www.politoninc.com/service-area/denton.html

    Structured Cable (Premise Wiring) Testing...

    To start just get a 4 pair continuity tester for about $40 bucks. This will tell you 99% of what you need to know. If all your pairs are showing good you should assume you have POE or it's a switch issue. Or in case of unifi your AP will light up. No need to spend $20,000.00. Make some...

    fiber inspection testing (viavi)

    Most likely your fiber cord that has a dark center is broken. Maybe these are hand polished connectors your looking at? Whenever the core is dark it's because he glass broke. Clint https://www.politoninc.com/service-area/denton.html

    Orange Conduit vs Grey Conduit/Innerduct

    Most things gray in my experience are either for power or underground. Orange is definitely the color for indderduct in buildings. Most everyone knows what's inside. We quit running innder duct years ago and just used plenum armored fiber in buildings now. It's actually cheaper than inner...

    UTP cable

    So the short answer is Cat 6 is rated at a higher throughput Mhz for a specific distance compared to Cat5e. I don't think you can even buy just plain Cat5 anymore or why would you. Everything is now cat6 pretty much. Clint Politon, Inc. Clint Polley...

    help with cat5e wire jack

    Follow the B pattern. No one uses A series anymore. 99.999% of all Ethernet cabling is B series. Basically the green and orange reverse which is the diff from A and B. Clint Polley https://www.politoninc.com/demarc-extension-services/

    Selling old system, anything I should do prior to dismantling?

    Ebay will quickly tell you the value. Some Nortel will sell and some is trash. Be careful not to fill your garage up with stuff that will not move. List it as a bid item and if no one bids then quickly get rid of it. Just my opinion of course but we do lots of this. Clint Polley...

    Partner ACS R6 "partially" dead extension

    I think the power pair which would prob be either black/yellow or on a cat5 jack the green pair is shorted or fried in the port. If the phone works on all ports but x12 then I would either use a diff port or if I did not have any add an expansion module. I have never heard of the shorting...

    All Circuits are busy - Database

    Prob all your info has not propagated through out all the LECS networks. I imagine the side that is cut off is giving you the all circuits are busy through POTS lines but cell carriers have updated data and routes the call appropriately. I have seen this before other types of lines. I can't...

    Algo 8301 paging gateway with Valcom 2006A and Ring Central Phones

    Thanks Curly Cord I was thinking it was a general discussion forum I'll double check next time. I was working with Algo tech support (who are really great and will log into your pc as well to check your settings) and they looked into the logs on the Algo and could not see touch tones from the...

    Avaya Partner System Trying to Forward to New Phone System

    To me I never want to call forward out of a Partner System. It was always created future problems in regards to the lines not releasing. One of my few remedies was to request a service on that line from the LEC called "reliable disconnect". Not sure what it does but sometimes it would help at...

    Comcast pots no speech

    I agree with Dexman. This is not a site specific issue but a Comcast issue. I bet they pushed an update out that has corrupted the boxes or something changed at the LEC. I would open a ticket on one and try to get there escalated tech support on the phone while on site and work through the...
