you could also consider using 2U wire managers. Especially if you use 48 port patch panels. ALso, if you add more equipment later below and start routing to different panels with the cables terminated already on these panels, you will need the 3 foot and even 5 foot cords if you dress everything...

You may want to find out why they started putting in Systemax wire with the Panduit hardware. Panduit offers extedned warranties for cabling jobs that are done to their specifications by approved vendors, but they dont support Systemax wire. Systemax was bought a few years back by Commscope...

I have another question, is there a way to point a DID to the internal modem? The customer has a large bank of unused DID's and this would be helpful. Lead, Follow, or Get out of the way!

The console issue was a programming problem. The station had "Forced Account Code" checked. I unchecked it and all is good. I replaced the set making the noise on the paging and that cleared it up. Win SPM worked great. I like using both formats (Quick Access and Standard SPM. I have a little...

I do have WinSPM V8 on my laptop. Last night I cruised the forum to find the default password. Got it. I also found the pinoutsfor a 355A/355AF. I will make one here shortly and access the system. The phone system works fine and the other users can access dial tone and dial in and out and their...

ANyone got any idea why a console would lose the ability to dial out on outside lines but still be able to dial internal extensions? No programming has been done. I have not tried resetting the system yet. This is a new client for me and I am about to find out what can of worms I am openning...

Make sure when you wire your home that you make good use of the pain and suffering of climbing in the attic and fishing walls. Add enough cables to do what you need today and a spare for the futture. You can even leave the spare cable coiled in the wall. The price of cable for your home (plenum...

I have had experience doing it the wrong way and then I went to work for a company that insisted on doing it only the right way. I fought it and made all the arguements, and at the end of the day, they were right and I was wrong. Now I only do it the right way, if I can.... Sometimes you are in...

I am not sure why no one said anything, but if you are using this for data and you splice it, that will be introducing more problens. You will have to untwist the wires to pslice it and the splice itself creates an impedence mismatch. Use the fact that the wire needs to be spliced as a good...

Make sure you use carrier class radios. Consumer grade and commercial grade (now being called industrial grade) are good but a carrier class radio will have noise mitigating technologies that will help prevent another signal from washing out your signal. You have a solid link now but what will...

I would suggest stapling your tiewrap to the sud and then tighten it to the cables. Make sure not to choke the cables. Daisy chaining cables is for short sighted people. whenever doing an install, the easiest time to wire is when the walls are open or the ceiling is not in yet. You do not know...

The music on hold on this executech quit working. I went into programming, it was enabled. I disabled it and re-enabled it, no effect. If I call me cell phone and put the call on hold at the system, I here background static. I can tell if i am turning the volume up or down, but the music is not...

thanks, great information.

As far as fiber glass rds go, the longer one are stronger and more rigid. They can come with attachments for the end such as rolers to help makecurves and bounce ver cables. I have used them up to 1000 foot in length and they are fine. Graybar sells a 300 foot one on a reel.

I aam selling a BCCIII on ebay and a person ahs asked me what options the card supports and what cards can go in the slots. It is a 9109-117-001-NA that came new in a cabinet. I needed the cabinet for an upgrade and kept the BCCIII. I cant find my Mitel CD. What info can I put on there to inform...
