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 :-)

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...
example:
You have a four pair 24AWG communications cable, the pairs are color coded blue/orange/green/brown. It measures 100-feet in length. You are going to use the blue pair for a telephone and want to just test that pair.
connect both of the blue pair together at one end (directly, or via a...
Paul,
Can you give us any more detail?
1. Is there conduit currently between buildings?
2. If there is conduit, is room available for another cable?
3. Is there an existing aerial path?
4. What service type will you use the fiber for(Voice/Data/Video/Fire Alarm)?
5. Is the light source...
This is a small job, I'd recommend contacting several local contractors involved in voice/data cabling (this may include electrical contractors). Have them meet you (at the same time) to discuss a design-build project. Work out enough details at the meeting so that all contractors are bidding...
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...
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...
