I have a few wire closets that I inherited at some school sites that are in bad locations for electrical equipment.
Closets consist of either wall-mount or 2 post standing rack, 100-200 drops punched down into panels (no wire management). Humidity, dust, poor electrical, and/or just plain bad location (above the ceiling tile, in a classroom open to everyone, etc...)
In most situations, I cannot afford to completetly redo cabling to the new room(s); however, my thought was to jump to the new room with cable drops from the old panel(s) to new panel(s) in the new wire closet.
Do I RJ45 clip the ends of the new cable drops at the old panel or double punch the back of the old panel? What's normally done in this situation?
