Sure miss your videos

WTF at all those hidden patch panels

Now you have to teach the IT guys to quit being lazy and sloppy and follow your paths and also *LABLE*

Needed patchbox

nice work with the referb. I#vedone a few and know exactly the issues. I applaud the use of common materials readly available, as to ordering vendor equipment. The one thing I have personally changed is using IDC type panels (either 110 or LSA) Here in Germany everything is LSA. My perfered panel are Modular panels (Perferable Keystone). I like the ability to add ports if not all used relativly easy. But great video, gave me some ideas.

Is he still alive?

Anyone remember in the movie Predator when Billy cuts the vines to drink from them? 3:23 yeah...

Thank you for your valuable content!

The amount of times I watched this video and never noticed the cat

ENGINEERS THE UNSUNG HEROES OF OUR WORLD.

This is a coupler. Not a splicer

We are ready for more 😁

Back in the day this would scad me crap-less.

So, for the cable holder part of the patch panel, should I just bend its ears in order for it to "click" on the panel itself? I just opened mine and got very confused to see 2 pieces that don't really fit; bending the tray myself seems like brute forcing it to fit and I wouldn't want to end up damaging this. How should I unite the cable strain tray to the front of the patch panel?

Something sounds like its bootlooping in the background, fans run for a bit, shut off and it repeats.

This facility is tier 2 at best. Good start but small and limited.

I see a cisco router :D

I know I am late to the party, but at the 26 min mark, I can't believe they cut through the structural joists to stuff cables and a patch panel in there. Great video, i had more fun watching this then a typical friday night movie I usually re-watch. Cheers mate.

Even though the video is six years old, it remains enjoyable to watch. I appreciated every moment of it.

excellent

Time travel? I am here in 2024 wathicng this as recommended.

Make sure you don't pull those strain relief ties too tight, as you'll cause problems. Even if you don't damage the cable, you may cause an impedance bump. Those yellow cables seem to be tied down too tight.

Amazing work. It floors me how bad some cabling is out there.

Looks great! Nicely done. How many hours, end-to-end, did this project take? And was it a flat fee kind of job?

I've had this on several nights before going to sleep and believe I've now watched the entire thing twice lol. Good work bud. Looks super nice.

This is great. You answered all my questions and none of the other videos did.

Use Velcro, NO WIRE TIES

Did you retired or ? Hope you're doing well ❤❤❤

En lo personal hubiese hecho la instalación desde 0. Saludos

You can 100% splice fiber and make custom cables..

Alternate title sunk cost fallacy

12:20 keystone for the rescue

The mess when you arrived oh my God. Someone got paid to create that mess.

i've been doing this kind of work for many years and come across crap work you just showed , i still don't understand why people cut up network cables , just disconnect them and leave em be. watching the video was a trip through memory lane , lool

I have to understand which cable is which in a derivative box inside a wall. I can easily unplug cables at the switch side and plug that end in the toner, but at the other end of the cable it might be plugged to a access point that I can't easily reach. Is it safe to use a digital tone and probe when one end of a cable is connected to the tone and the other end of the cable is connected to any possible device, say an access point or a smart tv etc?

Well done. I'm wiring my mom's house soon and I opted to also use the newer keystone patch panels. I didn't even know they existed - I was there at Microcenter looking at this tech trying to understand what it was. Needless to say, after I got home I set the monolithic patch panel aside to return and ordered an everest media solution kit which includes the crimp tool, a bunch of keystones, and a 24 port patch panel. Really excited about trying out these keystone jacks - it seems like it's going to simplify everything and create a lot of modularity.

These situations are when you turn to the client and say 'look, were gonna have some rolling outages saturday evening' then start untangling and replugging shit. Can clean up most things enough to see what's exactly going on in 30 minutes. Takes some experience and testicles but saves days of reverse engineering. If downtime is critical, migrate to other equipment. Sidenote: the 120v stepdown is probably pointless. Almost all of the equipment will run on 120/240v @ 50/60 hz. DC will work usually too even if the manufacturer doesn't list it in the datasheet.

I’d told that cctv guy to get his cramp out of the IT rack and do his own.

Side note: at 1:03, the red note says "Please do not touch the camera, thanks". I assume they're confusing the motion sensor with a camera.

Was this your first project, cables are still not that neat or concealed, surprised you posted this job

Hey Ninja man, What happen? Over 4 years sense we heard from you. Are you okay? We miss your videos man.

Great videos - you've turned engineering in small spaces into a work of art and craft, exactly how technology pioneers applied years of expertise to finish a job well.

How do you trace out which connections are active?

When you move a device, do you make a chart of which cable was plugged into which port on both devices?

In my 30 year career I have seen and straightened out much worse.

brilliant idea this one much better to use and easy repair wants you experience issue on the cabling network. :) big thanks for this

run all new cable and delete the old. but nice work.

I can honestly say that I've never been fortunate enough to follow your work. Good stuff.

Beautiful job. Very meticulous and well thought out. Great planning.

Shut that kid up already! Nice work as usual too!
