A massive Unifi network with 3 whole access points.
I know, and a petabyte of wifi ????
I got one with 50 devices. lol.
@@buldozzer3456 I've got 3 in my house.
I mean, I've had 480 devices connected to a Cisco Aironet 2808I before. Granted, the connection speeds were abysmal, as it fully saturated the gig line, but it was a guest wifi test for a football game.
What exactly it is you mean?
Working on my CCNA to get into networking and love watching all the videos that you guys put out. Seeing what is actually done is a breath of fresh air since most people seem to want to keep it all a secret.
Agreed, I'm happy that I get to at least get an idea of what I'm getting myself into
Love the videos, keep em coming.
What you do is very professional and beautifully explained. I'm passionate about what you do, although I don't work in the field, but it helps me in what I want to do, so far I haven't found anything like that on CZcams, but when I saw your videos I went straight to it. I hope you continue with them. Greetings
so many more DCs centercentered to achieve the best of resources to fall in 😍 loved one
You guys do awesome work and make some great videos. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Great content!! Really love the channel!
04:34 - "...this is going to make it fully unbreakable" - When you make something foolproof, God makes a bigger fool.
Awesome, I work in a MSP in the North East. The basic 'how to's are great little reminders :D
Not boring at all :)
I enjoying watching to learn Networking and such... I wish I worked there!!
Great videos, I'm actually very happy that you are continuing to upload what you are doing.
Could you show more jobs like that, especially setting up servers/switches at medium or small instalations? Datacenters are impressive, but it's harder to get a mental image of the path "data" is taking along there
Awesome work...
Getting into networking myself. I like your videos. Love the insight you give. Hope to see more
Don't learn wiring from this guy!
A friend of mine has started setting a lower end configuration that uses UniFi hardware. The software is amazing.
If you look at the antenna radiation patterns you'll see some UAPs are somewhat "'Kidney-style" directional. Depending on the model and environment you might get a better coverage when mounting ceiling-style instead of flush to the wall. Some installations I know use (in their case 3D-printed, similar to thing:2447751) 90°-Brackets to get them correctly oriented.
Great videos
No bore at all. Looking forward to your cat 5 terminating video.
Good job 💜💪⚡
Hope to see part 2 and the crimp lan cable video 👍
I love the little rhyme everyone does when colour coordinating & crimping an RJ45
Nice work. I would suggest using J-Hooks instead of cable ties with beam clamps off the iron. Much easier for future adds
I use unifi at home. 2 AC Pros (its a big house) aswell as a USG 4P router, US 48 non POE switch, USB 16 150w POE switch for APs, cloud key, cameras etc. Also recently put a US XG 16 in my server rack and connect my servers using 10g SFP+ cards and DAC cables.
On my side setup was Unifi access point with mikrotik poe sw. Like your videos kind of networking stuff.
Just bring part two. I want to see the rest
Good stuff! switch config!
I keep seeing you use the boots that crimp onto cable and reallt like that idea rather than the slide over cable ones. Where do u guys get them and do u need special RJ-45 ends?
Cool!
Hope to see switch configuration soon
You can do an all-UniFi setup (purchase a UniFi switch that has enough ports and power budget (PoE capacity/wattage) for the access points).
I have five AC AP's in my house. I never knew it's was more advanced than a TV studio!
Holy shit, how big is your house?? I live in a 1850sqft house and I have a UDM and an AC Lite
@@willgaines5269 I supply WiFi to my neighbors and so, without having to put equipment in their homes and run cables, have them around the edge of my home.
Great work... I am also network engineer at Qatar.. Love ❤ computer network
Hire me
Which testing device do you use to test the network cabling?
would like to see some router and switch configurations and other vendors if possible.
What brand is that green parts bin organizer
Thanks in advance
You had me at Dr Pepper.
Interested in people's thoughts on cat5e vs cat6 for gb connectivity? I always use cat6 for wifi?
Why do you guys use cat 5/5e instead of cat 6? (won't the long term costs of rewiring when they need better networking screw with your paycheck?)
depending on how this is financed, a lot of people want the future work to reinstall cat6. another reason could be that the company wants to cut costs and buy cat 5e, or maybe they already had cat 5e laying around. 100mb/s is plenty for most applications anyway
@@94Dza Wow this is a long time ago... Completely understand, good points made. Hopefully their over to CAT6 by now with WIFI6 running at well over 100mbps...
@@erikvdmerwe6908 Cat5e does gigabit at 100 meters, so nothing to worry about...
Dude you should never put a Dr.Pepper can directly on top of a wall box or any sort of electronic... you better store your drinks on the floor or drink it outside. You rock!
6 months and 5 days ago i've bought a UniFi APC AC-Lite and never had a single signal dropout / disconnect or hangs / crashes again :^)
There are only 4-7 Clients connected most of the time, but when we still used the cheap 20€ TP-Link AP and everyone started watching CZcams and/or Netflix we had to reset it once ot twice a day :^(
Do you all have Systems Operators to monitor everything?
As I was watching this video it might be very much implied that a whole lot of people out there somehow knows how to properly wire crimp connect Ethernet Cable which you so easily did quite fast. I have no real idea what sequence the wiring and crimping and you guys can easily make a video on how you all do that.
Why you didn't use EtherCON connectors for the patch panel?
Ethercon is great for things that are constantly being unplugged, rewired, and repatched because of its metal structure on the connector - great for working in entertainment because stuff gets moved around constantly depending on where it's needed for whatever is running. But for something like this that most likely will not be touched - a standard ethernet jack is fine. It's not gonna move, and it's not going to break due to repetitive strain on the little plastic clip.
If you do How to crimp video, please show differences between cat5e and Cat6. Are wires different (thicker?) and connectors? UTP or Shielded and how to do it properly, but that's probably too complicated to explain how to do it right lol.
Maybe throw in are there any other use cases than very noisy environment. Thanks for making these videos. 👍
"Unbreakable" This guy thinks highly of their customers... I've learnt that not even the most bulletproof solution is unbreakable. Had an idiot REMOVE the power lead to her Fiber converter and put it away in a cabinet. She contacted us and wondered why the internet didnt work... You can imagine the level of self control needed to not say "yes" when she asked if i thought she was stupid...
Please also make a video when configuring UNIFI WIFI (SDN) Solutions
Syed.Salman Shah - will be in part two...
Physical security would work wonders here
Probably not the easiest thing to implement here. Especially with the sheer variety of operations that can be run in any tv studio (which are perhaps the most dynamic of work environments at the best of times), especially if the studio is constantly evolving in terms of usage and connection requirements.
Just one question - why Cat 5? Price differences are not big, but if this cable will stick there for long time, it would be better to use CAT 6.
Where's part 2 at then?
esports over wifi? i'm intrigued.
you know, as in, the guys adding/removing weights to their 3000dpi gaming mice for more precise and customized aiming, short-travel [rgb! rgb always helps!] mechanical keyboards to shave off another quarter of a millisecond of lag, and stuff like that.
given the innate lag wifi/radio introduces (tcp/ip does a great job correcting itself [as designed], it's just that a ton of packets get lost all the time - the busier the airspace, the more junk you get - and they have to be sent again and again, adding to the "noise". then adding the vulnerability of that openly broadcast data, it's amongst the worst types of connections you'd ever want: a congested medium (with a low net bandwidth thanks to it's common use and limited frequencies/"channels"), anyone can listen in and take their time to decode your handshakes (and then data), then inject packets at will and have their fun with you, you name it. (it's _sooo_ easy to break this, damnit!)
esports? lol.
all it takes is 2 taps on my phone and there's no wifi within a ~10-15 meter radius for as long as my phone's battery lasts. too bad mobile phone jammers are illegal over here: a "mute all comms" button really would be sweet these days :-|
....anyways. happy tournament, i guess? :-D
So good to see this installation. Thx. And some questions: what is total length of this copper connection? And why not Cat 6 ..WiFi 6 standard is just behind the corner.
It's a budget question. Why spend money on expensive cabling that you have no effort on right now.
The unify APs only run on gigabit LAN.
Once in a while when this WiFi solution does not do the job properly any more you can go on and sell new cabling to the customer. That might be in 5-10 years.
@@substrde sure, but very soon 10G will be needed and then yoo will need to replace all...actives and ....cables. With Cat6 or higher you will not need to spend money again on cable installation.
@@bartoszstrek6693 I don't think that 10G for APs will be needed soon and regarding the cheaper cabling with cat 5 this is how companies calculate.
I actually want to replace my engenius wifi with unifi but I can't get my hands on their 8 port POE switch at the moment =\
Why in the year of 2019 at that time are you running/installing CAT5 and not CAT6?
three words, reliability and cost effective.
@@lawrenceplays
Cost effective, that's a given, CAT5e will always be cheaper, so meeting a higher cable requirement for the 1G specification is not important then?
Lol we are running CAT7 everywhere now because it is future-proof and more reliable. Also for Long Cables you want have a good Signal
There is *no* good reason to run _CAT5_ - I hope he is simply mistaken, or one of those who just refer to all _Ethernet_ cable incorrectly as CAT XYZ.
@@hiddenidentity8291 no u see it on the shielding. there is none. even CAT6 does have shielding
no part 2?
In Australia you require a professional qualification to be able to run structured cabling. Can't believe the UK doesn't we love to adopt British beurocracy.
Wow I would've never thought that a DC would do MSP work
They probably have a DC relationship with them and since they already work together a level of trust has been established. I do not expect these guys advertise MSP services.
Hi bro can you show the crimping part please its a request
Can you please show how the power and failover works.
He will if that Dr Pepper can gets knocked over.
Wow.....
Cat5e? Is the UK behind? All the data centers around me in the US run Cat6 or Cat6a.
I know, right? I even have Cat6 in my apartment...
Must be. Anyone who crimps on a connector on a riser cable is a fool!
@@rty1955 i agree he should have terminated onto an outlet
Wich cable did you use? SFTP, UTP, FTP
SFTP and FTP cable, lmao!
Can you make a video about steps to working in a data centre after university? Doing networks but what would be good certifications for entry level etc?
Daniel Birdsall CCNA would be a good first step if you’re wanting to go into the network side of a DC even if they don’t use Cisco equipment it’s still industry recognised.
@@ingy23 We will hopefully have something around certifications for DC work next week...
INGY23 we actually get our ccna at uni, we’re one of the limited universities that do it. It’s great :) that’s next year though
Hello I am steding by data center operation management of STT I am live by banglore you chanal very useful nice you more videos make bro
So you work with servers or just managed it on software
speak english
How can I get a job in Data Center ?? What do I need to know ?
to be continued
where u live in england oky👌 i hope u so well
What did he say...they get there switches from Amazon lol
Ubiquiti switches i think
Sure why not. Dealing with VARS can be a pain in the ass. (not always)
@@SkavenUK yeah especially with just a one-off order
Amazon delivers faster than ordering directly from Ubiquiti
LIFE
Never use zip ties ! Only use Velcro for cable management!
Does Ash run the joint, or does he just happen to be the guy that does most of the videos?
He is on a bit of a hot streak! Will be introducing and re-introducing some new faces as of next week on...
MPLS Circuits vs SD-WAN
hello, James with a whole network all in an amazing 🤗huge cloud data center for u dc centers mnany
How is this job called? I like it!
Usually called Structured Cabling but the name can vary inside companies when separated between DC and building data cabling.
maybe i in interested in India hey Heyman
hello 🗺 world from Asia to India
a dc cloud 🌥 civilization peoples life in a day to 🌃 night in a center 24 hours in a daily basis in temperatures so cool guys
👍 oky
in cases like this i have used some lockable patch cables with good results
basically i will run to a patch panel and from patch panel to switch with lockable patch cables
here is a link for the ones i use

ah, ubiquiti. you ever thought of using lock-in devices for the ethernet?
UNIFI for enterprise?
deva ray deva hi daya
I seriously hate ca6... I miss using cat5e :(
Should try ez-crimp crimpers and ends. Way easier and you never have to redo an end. The wires go through the cat5 end and then sliced off when crimped in.
Even easier is NEVER use crimps on a riser cable!!!
Ok, I get it's a large space, but come on, there's traywork running all round the room, so put your cables in there. The general cabling in the room looks terrible, access points just hang off the looms. I don't think anyone would buy there kit from Amazon either - I don't care how quick it is (and in this case, it looks like it's not). Amazon is just like a dodgy car boot sale these days - so much fake stuff, and sending stuff back is not easy. Get the kit from an authorized supplier, where you might pay a little more, but you get more in the process.
What about cloud computing?
The cloud is just someone else's computer
@@kettlestew nothing more wrong
Microservices, SaaS, SD-WAN ? What is the "cloud" to you?
@@kettlestew a better, secured, agile IT environment
@@valahu004 but the agile cloud providers have this problem, it’s the network and WiFi that failed
as much as true to say technologies are good 👌 perfectly in a hurry to control all the best my way so much for a 🤗 configuration and maintenance too good ash my deva in a dev environment friendly, you also made an excellent networking experience with rack in track fair in height lovely to say that all sounds good oh man ♂ a little bit more politely than a configures is best
hey 🚙 James well in promises
Did he just put a connector onto a riser cable????? This is why you dont send an inexperienced person to install cabling! He would never work in my data center!
This isn't a datacenter though. It's a structured cabling homerun to an AP. He's going to have to crimp the far end at the AP anyway and the cable test with a proper meter. He might have been clearer on what was left to do so fair enough. I have seen no videos with someone who looks like they've been in telecom or structured cabling for 20 years.
@@BenjaminSerrato no they are all kids who really dont know what they are doing. He could have still used a surface mount jack and used a small patch cable to the AP. With a jack he still could have done EE tests
@@rty1955 You're right. I watched the rest of the video and changed my mind. He also suggested he was not going to mount the switch even though it looks like there should be room in the rack, and I don't care for wall mounting APs. I've not been in many warehouses but those I've been in all have ceiling mounts. Also my field managers still lace everything.
Surely there are certs for structured cabling.
@@BenjaminSerrato I would prefer brains over certs any day haha
@@rty1955 Always, but certs can be useful for letting new people in an industry learn what they don't know. I'd rather learn physical work from someone on the job but the next best is some nice diagrams.
I used to work setting up equipment for configuration before shipment and I was always frustrated that our guys who really knew what they were doing were in the field and I never learned to do commercially acceptable work.
Not a very good wire run. I have never seen anyone pull the wire run and hang it. A set of "fishing poles" and two boxes of wire and pull it along is way easier!
Zip ties pinch and damage cables. I would never use them in a job I cared about.
thats not true. dont do them up so tight. ive used cable ties so many times, always tested properly with fluke, never any issues.
wow, shockingly bad. would never work for me, wouldnt last 5 minutes. Cable ties, cat5e, Amazon, bend radius of the cabling ingnored, siting on top of a rack WOW!!!!!!!!!! dedicated cabinets, sockets at high enough points should have been the way forward. Don't say it's what the customer wanted either. Standards Standards Standards!
everyone says this until they want to go home on a friday. not the best, not the worst either. obviously its not his company so remember he wont have the same pride as you
@@94Dza then don’t start an install job after 2pm on a Friday :) plan it properly
This video hurts to watch, first of all, ZIP TIES REALLY !!! and why are you mounting the ap's on the wall, they go on the ceiling !
They work the same way wall or ceiling and what's wrong with zip ties
@@ryderholland people tend to over tighten zip ties that increase crosstalk on the pairs
