Can cat5e be used for phone?
I have flooded many homes and I find using 568-A pinning is more universal for phone or data uses. Line 2 is the orange pair in telephony. BICSI is recomending -A all around as well for residential installs. Why is there never a phone in any of the phone closets? -
Advice on Aironets for this scenario
I would use 3 of Cisco's 1242AG radios. The central site would configure as root bridge with wireless clients. The two perimeter sites would be non-root with wireless clients. The central AP would connect to the wired network via Ethernet, broadcast a b/g coverage cloud, and use the a radio...- naturl

Wireless Slows and Stalls
First try changing channels-you could have a neighbor who has added wifi out of the box using your channel (bandwidth-think of their problem). Use ch 1, 6, or 11 and see if anything changes. Service pack 2 does have issues shutting things down but they should come back when you set security...- naturl

LEGRAND patch panels
I had an Ideal crimper once that had a ding on one of the set down pins. It would roll the plastic slightly over the contact making it intermitent at best... Why is there never a phone in any of the phone closets? -
Comparing Microwave ovens
I am tasked with testing and making a list of Microwave ovens that are more blessed in a wireless environment, as well as finding out the boat-anchors. I am aware the coils in magnatrons could be better at their center channel selectivity by being wound more carefully. However, as small an...- naturl

EZ-RJ45 Question
I am leary of this device. I have repaird to many crimps (not) untwisted too close to and packed into the strain relief and pairs shorted when the crimp bar is laid down on them. Every couple of months a certain school would have a "phone problem" and as soon as the my marked van appeared (I... -
Good RJ45 crimper
I have an AMP crimper and have been told absolutly not use it UNLESS I had bought my RJ-45 crystals from AMP and to not to use it on any other brands-AMP Tech Support also agreed stating their die was unique (of course). Others in our field cry out on its behalf as their favorite bar none. Any... -
extra shielding for cat5
I have used a fine mesh "chicken wire" (actually made a little chicken coup) to shield Comms in an welding shops' Electricial/Mechanical room. Bonded it and it worked to remove noise spikes from of the system. Maybe a fitted grid as such to act as a screen. 60 Hz is a pretty long wave length... -
Load test software?
do you have a firewall? Restrict cartain streaming trafic. survey your ports; any spares? in an orderly fashion start changing physical ports and cable runs. See if things improve. When do the timeouts occur? prime time or on a saturday too? start testing these things to rule things out... -
Cat 5 or 6?
Yes but, only for a "short" run. I am finding work installing media centers with fiber for clusters. Ex. Instead of 24-200 foot CAT6 runs I run 1-6 strand fiber (cost per foot-6x fiber = 6- CAT6's) out to a new switch and 24 short runs with 5e and it works. I understand not more than 75 feet... -
Cat 5 or 6?
'Never warmed up to Panduit either. In-fact it was the A B pair, however the cable had a spline to seperate the pairs (here we go about A B again). This would be an A cable for Levintons fashion. I am looking at a Systimax (avaya) CAT6 jack and it is like the Levinton as far as this... -
Cat 5 or 6?
One difference I have notice is the partnering between vendors of cable and terminators (patch cables too). One way to insure CAT6 performance is to maintain pair alignment out of the jacket. One job I went to finish after the Ele#@*!cians laid the cable had two brands of CAT6 cable and... -
Load test software?
One thing I look for, given this day and age, is P2P running somewhere. I can count on 2 hands clients who had the same problems you are and after hard observation and mapping of the hardest working port lights I would find KAZA running on some interns desktop. Difficult to kill. Got to do it... -

Learn to cable and tips
Oh, I figured out what was meant by the "mouse" thing. I use a lot of Tree Climbing tricks (www.treeclimbing.com) when I am "up there". A tip-Cut the end off of a bad cables (YaDa YaDa YaDa) when you discard them so the "boss" doesen't pull them out of the trash after you leave-it happens... -
Improper patch cables-BLOG
Oh Great One before me: How-Who-and Why in the world do I keep pulling these patch cables out of switches and patch cords!!! (1-BlWh/Bl,OrWh/Or,GnWh/Gn,4-BrWh/Br) I am getting tired of finding split pairs on these marked CAT5x grade cables when I troubleshoot. This is not a standard other than...
