An update on this. The "project" has been progressing due entirely to my efforts. We have a "wall of modems" that is literally a 36 inch wide backboard floor to ceiling! We are waiting for Cablevision to provide the last four lines that, for some reason they are dragging their butts on.

Just to show how Cablevision is not capable of providing business class voice service- it's not unusual for one company to divide their lines up into groups and be billed separately for each for accounting purposes. Since Cablevision is stuck in the cable TV days they provided six separate accounts, six drops to the premises and six separate groups of EMTAs which means that there are unused ports on many. There are eight four line EMTAs for only twenty lines. THAT'S why we have the wall of modems, a monument to stupidity.

Hal,
Are these lines ported from a local CO? If so their is a good chance the business will not be able to port them back. Not sure
the reason but that is what happens here.

This install guideline is pathetic! Six drops? How do they manage attenuation? These eMTA's without some sort of balancing
can't possibly meet manufactures signal/noise standards. Arris for example is very picky, they generally range to a specific
set of frequencys trying to connect to the server. If the signal is too high it will stand to reason that also true the snr
will be near the noise floor. If this is the case the eMTA will range constantly resulting in dropped calls, and dropping
connectivity.

Can you post pictures of this install? What are they doing for cross connects? Thats got to look real funny! It goes to show
that the cable operators really need to be regulated much more!

You asked in your first post about amphenol and so on. Yes they can do something along those lines. To my knowledge at least
10 diffrent MTA's provide an amphenol connection with 25 pairs to the 66. Commercial and MDU services do have a new rollout
planned, thus one piece of equipment will serve multiple lines.

Here are some links;
https://www.arrisi.com/product_catalog/listers/index.asp?id=393 <-- Can support 12 lines
https://www.arrisi.com/product_catalog/listers/index.asp?id=409 <-- T1 like

It is my oppinion that a majority of the MSO's launched services to build a base, yet had no idea what to do when they got that
base. Headends and Systems got neglected, as a result customers paid the price. Its sad, but true.

You and I are aware of that, now it's time to make the customer aware of that.

8 port tap off the feeder out in the telecom closet.

What are they doing for cross connects?

They are doing nothing. I wouldn't let them touch it! I installed the backboard, laid it out and hung the modems and backups on it. Made them stand there and learn something. I provided a 6 foot outlet strip and routed the RG-6 down one side. All I would let them do is provision them. We have 4 pair breakout cables that we normally use for the CO lines on our KSU installations that use RJ-11s. Perfect for this also. One from each modem to a split 66 block, 50 pair cable over to where the system cross connect is, then another split 66 block next to the Verizon demarc. At that point everything is cross connect wire so everything comes off the Verizon block and gets put on the Cablevision block. Not something that they would know how to do in their wildest dreams.

I'll try and get some pictures when it's finished.

Intresting stuff. Your cleanup/install works well. Though I must point out a semi funny fact. How much did this "savings switch" actually save them with all the time you have on site and the chaos they have been subjected to?

Oh well, Its a shame people dont google Comcast, Cablevision, Charter or Time Warner phone before they order. run any of those and all you find is horror stories.

Well, I'll put it this way- that monthly savings isn't going to kick in for at least 6 months.
