I would swap some of the phone ports around,put some warehouse phones on the 308 cards and some of the office phones on the 012 cards except ext.#-10 & #-11 and see what happens. Plus I would run cat-3 cable out in the warehouse, your cat-5e 1000, ft. runs are know about 1500 ft. because of the twist in the cat-5e cable.

Cat5 is the customers spec so that is out. Thanks again for the tips. I will give it a shot.

You are the phone guy....don't let the customer spec materials that are the wrong ones!

Cat5 is the customers spec so that is out.

I really don't want to hear that. You are the tech and should know that 1000 feet of CAT5 is worthless. If you are going to let the customer tell you how things should be done they will be doing it themselves in my book.

Sorry, I should have clarified. The back bone is high pair count cat3 that runs over 2000 feet to the warehouse. From the IDF in the warehouse out to the phones is within 300ft.

Still no excuse for CAT5. This is telephone.

So you have over 2300 feet of no more than 24 gauge. There's your problem.
