    Residential Cabling

    If this is a retrofit and cabling is cost prohibitive, wireless may be an option. It is an alternative techonology and may be accepted by a technologically savvy homeowner. If this is new construction, a structured cabling system should still be installed. It's not to say that a wired system...

    Residential Cabling

    Yes. A proper pathway is the best and most cost effective method for future proofing.

    1000Base-T =cat5e 1000base-T & 1000Base-TX = cat6

    Berktek Armored Fiber

    I'd do both. Innerduct and armored cable. You can get it with aluminum or steel armor.

    Fiber - what is 850mm or 1300mm

    Yes, what Franklin said. If they can't explain 850/1300, I would find a different contractor.

    Coax Patch Panel

    >>Hehe, I didn't mean to be rude if I was<< Nope. Not at all. J

    Coax Patch Panel

    Avaya, it didn't seem outrageous to me. I just offered a an opinion on the value of your time, which I'm sure you don't need reminding. I have and will do things you are doing now when trying to sell a new concept/methodology (a culture change) to my staff/clients/customers. It means a little...

    Coax Patch Panel

    Hard to beat that price. For sheet metal components-blanks and pass thrus, etc. I may have found a new vendor. Gruber priced a 32 port &quot;F&quot; panel, loaded at less than $35.00.

    Coax Patch Panel

    It's up to you of course but your time is worth something. $30 (+/-) in materal plus, laying out the hole pattern, drilling, inserting the barrels, tightening the nuts = what, a couple hours. You may pay the same after you've factored in your labor. BTW, I have yet to figure out how to post...

    Coax Patch Panel

    The 32 port Ortronics panel mentioned above sells for around $110 to $120.

    Coax Patch Panel

    A little late, but Ortronics makes a 2U, 32 port &quot;F&quot; connector panel.

    Avaya Systimax-D Gigaspeed XL

    Ringing with a tool (not your snips) and using the rip cord and cutting removing the excess jacket are both acceptable. I prefer the use of a ringing tool, exclusively for 4 pair horizontal, while other types of cable may dictate the use of a ringing tool and the rip cord. The ringing tool...

    staples

    I agree with Avayanovice...on the smurf tube part. I have installed 3/4&quot; ENT in the last few resi jobs of mine. As we can agree (or disagree) a proper pathway is more flexible and more affordable than multiple drops or composite or bundled cables, as far as future proofing goes. But the...

    Splicing Cat5e or Cat6

    Right. A CP is not a user interface, like a MUTOA.

    Splicing Cat5e or Cat6

    Then it sounds like the BEST solution, that inserts the LEAST amount of loss, and yields the BEST performance is to replace the cable. Now you're talking not one but two splices in the horizontal. We can talk about the use of a &quot;consolidation point&quot; as a way to &quot;extend&quot; the...

    send data over CAT5E to PAL TV

    Maybe something like this will work: http://www.leviton.com/pdfs/lin/LINsections_2003/LIN_HScat_Multi-RoomVideo.pdf At the TV, use a SCART to RCA adapter. Jeff

    ISDN and split pair

    Der Name des KAPRi mit den neuen Leistungsmerkmalen lautet KAPRi plus. Das wichtigste neue Leistungsmerkmal ist die Erkennung von &quot;Split Pair&quot;- Installationsfehlern. A split is when the tip or ring of one pair goes to the tip or ring of another pair. You followed the same pinout as...

    Best way to document patching

    What is used for a large campus environment like mine may not be needed for another system. We document everything, from maintenance holes to switches to work area outlets. Every move, add or change is documented. Most of our distribution is made via cross-connect wire, but where 8p8c patch...

    DATA PUTTY??

    At least with red hands you'll know your techs firestopped something. We have used the caulk (tubes) and trowel in stuff (5 gal bucket), both being red (Specfied Technologies) and sticky but we now use the puddy (from the same manufactuer) and it is gray and not as messy. Jeff
