short out question
Wires, Thanks for correcting my impedance/DC Resistance error. I am now free of the gravitational pull of the 'Stupid Star'... at least until I start typing without engaging my brain again :-) Richard S. King, RCDD/LAN/OSP TKG Consulting Engineers, Inc. -
110 Punch Down to RJ-45 Connector
If I'm reading this right you're talking about a patch cable used to cross-connect from a 110-style termination block to a 8-position, 8-conductor modular port (aka RJ-45). If so you only need to request a 110 to RJ-45 patch cable from any distributor, they'll know what you're talking about... -

DS3 Coax Loopback
I've been out of the field for awhile, but every DS3 I've done was coax. Usually brought in on fiber to an OCx Mux and dropped to DS3 level for transmission via 75 Ohm coax. Loopbacks were normally programmed at the edge devices. So here's my question(s): 1.Is the hard loop (which is in fact... -
Conduit Fill With Stubs
If I'm reading this correctly, we're discussing a piece of EMT installed through a drop-ceiling tile for the express purpose of making the install aesthetically pleasing. If so there are no firestopping or fill ratio issues to consider. There would be considerations for adequate bracing of the... -
Splicing Cat5e or Cat6
Have you considered 3M Scotch-locks? I've never tested them but they're an easy IDC based fix without special tools or space requirements.
