As you "Splice" this install a repeater or some othere electrical device that will regenerate and boost the signal. This will help in the short term. As numerous people have pointed out you would be better served installing a 6 or 12 strand fiber. This will eliminate latency issues and get...

Shmoes, If your employer is frugal as you stated, the conduit thing can get rather expensive. It also limits future moves/adds/changes. "daronwilson" mentioned cable tray and that may be the way to go. Cablofil makes an excellent tray for open architecture and it is easy to install, as is...

Print Design? Are you writing an RFP for these people or are you writing a network standard for them? Just curious, mostly. I would look to give them a quote based on your estimated hours and let them know you will document hours spent (Like a Lawyer). If the job requires alot of research...

Really not supposed to use Nylon ties on Cat-6. Over time they tend to "bend" the cable. Also, techs have a tendency to over tighten. I got the Velcro brand PLE rated wraps from one of my vendors for around 55 cents each. Cost is more than the .06 cent each for nylon non-plenum, but I just...

These will do the job. Found them for about .50 each. Thanks for the guidance.

Need Advice. Been Installer, PM and Design in the Cabling field for 10 years now. Starting to see saturation on this side and need to change career course to stay viable. Trying to decide between getting RCDD and AutoCAD training to further career or to get more Cisco Training and take that...

I think everyone is giving sound advise but you are getting lost in the terminology. The "Riser" is what connects the Teleco Room (TR) on the 3rd floor to the TR on the second. If the horizontal cabling (to each station phone) is in place, you only need to run a riser and cross connect in the...

Ever leave a radio in the ceiling and walk the job talking into the other one hoping to hear yourself? Yep, me neither.

Why not go with IP camera's. They can be powered over ethernet using either switches (Cisco 3750) or POE injectors. You can even link the buildings via Point-to-Point wirless and have everything go back to one Video Recording unit for storage.

Did it pass a Cat-6 test? I usually retain the twist to point of termination and expose nop more than 1/2". But if you passed a Cat-6 test with a reputable tester the way you did it, you were right.
