I have never stripped any low voltage wire...just take it right to the scrap yard. They are paying 74 cents a pound now, which has gone down.

I have used 25 pair cat5e in a data center. It was used for some cabinet to cabinet data transfers. We terminated it on patch panels and it wasn't very fun to do. Jeff, scrap communication wire is going for 95 cents here in the D.

Probally would have been quicker to run a new 4 pair for a back bone cable.

Sure, it would be quicker, but if he ran a 25pr cable instead of a 4pr cable, I'm willing to bet there was actually a good reason. Lots of reasons why you'd want multiple connections between cabinets.

I forget the number of cabinets there were but for 1 48 port patch panel you would need 8 25 pairs sparing each violet/slate.

Each port had 4 pairs wired to it? I assume this pair sharing was done to eliminate a bottleneck between cabinets caused by one connection between rack switches as well as avoiding a big bundle of 4 pair wiring. Makes sense to me.
