sundance-communications.com Forums Telephone Services Cabling Telephones Systems Wiring cleanup job

here is some work I did over the past 2 weekends. large house full of AV gear, CCTV, various computers.
originally had a structured media panel that was removed and rack was installed.
I was called in to clean up the cabling, install a patch panel, re-terminate all the jacks to 'B' standard, trace out and label. This past weekend I also installed a second 24 port patch panel at the rack and a 12 port patch panel in a closet.













my personal favorite: there was one drop the AV company just could not get to work...they apparently spent hours terminating and reterminating, this is how they left it!



that's w/o-o-w/g-g-w/b-b-w/br-br

How many of those did they terminate? Except that there was a chance for color-blindness Blue-Green, it was close LOL They got 5 out of 8 right!

@Carl

UPON FURTHER REVIEW, they got 6 of 8, only reversed the Blue-White and Green-White.

Doesn't anyone use sleeve's anymore to transition between the ceiling and the room...with a little Firestop!?!?!?!

Totally off topic, I love the AVE shirt.

I have his 555 IC shirt.

Dean, never once seen sleeves in a house.
The ceiling tiles were cut already.
Chris, glad to see another AvE fan!

Any time I make a penetration through a hard ceiling I use a sleeve and fire block, if I'm only going through a drop ceiling tile I will just use a sleeve. Going through walls is a different matter and will depend on how the wall is built of it it is a fire block.

Ceiling tiles in a house!??! EWE 🤢 🤮

They are in a finished basement so they still have access to everything mounted to the floor joist above it.

I stay away from Resi work give me New or T. I. anyday!

How about a house that is under construction?

Single dwellings generally aren't worth pulling the van out of the garage...let Sparkie deal with cabling issues after the fact.
Condo's/Apartments with Voice/Data/Coax is okayish...I hate augering through a stack of 2x4's just for one drop.
