BIG Unifi Network installation for a Co-working Space
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- In this video we are working at my customers building out a coworking space. This build includes about 200 cables drops ( soon to be 300) multiple Unifi protect cameras, 8 U6 enterprise access points, UDM SE ( Soon to be UDM Pro Max in HA) and a bunch of other gear.
This is part one of the video. Part two will focus on the camera installation and show you how the integrated app works with our WiFi system

Always love the attention to detail and how clean everything looks. If only every contractor put this much pride in their work. Great job and fun video.
Nice clean work Cody !! Love it !
Matt, a really great job on this install thus far. The cable management is on point. As always, thank you for sharing.
Good work always Cody.
Clean job, congratulation! Thy for sharing.
Great work Cody, really enjoy your onsite vids. Been amazing seeing your business grow over the years 👊🏼
Great job, thanks.
So awesome, thanks for sharing these kinda vids.
Thank you for sharing 😚
Nice work, Cody!
Awesome Work, Cody! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks :)
Very nice and clean
Cool and big setup Cody, looking forward for episode 2 :)
Super dope and clean 👌🏾
excellent cable management, good job!!
Thank you
Only wish i want to make is a wish to work with Cody! Excellent job fellas and clean!
Thank you :)
Awesomeness, as aways !
Nice clean setup!
love the work man looks good!
Wish we could do some bigger installs, looks so much fun!
Always enjoy your content. Sometime, maybe you have, talk about bringing 20 or 30 cat 6's down from the ceiling in a residential. I have this coming up and wondered about ways to make the ceiling hole pretty. Thank you again.
nice clean install
the 2 screws on rack equipment just kills me!
Work of art
D.B. Cooper username... hmmmm.
Das ist für mich einer der besten UNIFI Kanäle
Ihr macht wirklich geile Projekte ;-)
Pro. Job!!
Love the work Mac, keep it up 👍
Should do a comparison video on youe work places compared to ours with user submitted entries, i got 13 cab's and 2 server racks across a big a site with 48 switches and 90 AP's and mine definately do not look like that!
Dam! that looks good.
Thanks
That is art right there...
Thank you 🙏
I'm assuming that the wall point numbering is in a orderly fashion that correspondents on the patch panel? Haven't seen how you track the cable runs, and the labelling on the patch vs to the wall palates.
Really nice job. I'd be interested to know how you configure vlans and networks here.
Would be interested in seeing a tutorial on enabling IPv6 on WAN and setting up on UDMSE in the future. Not sure if been done or asked before?
LOL Salto, I used to install a whole bunch of Salto Locks, many on coworking IWG Regus Spaces.
Looks clean. May I ask, what is the purpose of the 1U blank you left in the middle? Thanks.
Nicely Done!, but the missing screws...as you know when done this clean, people will look for the mishaps, all in all nice job!
I always leave screws out until it’s 100% done just in case I need to move things around :)
i hate that the power plugs are on the front. As this is a managed device ideally for UniFi hardware it would look so much better if everything plugged in the rear of the unit
Looks great! Do they typically ask to certify your runs? Looking forward to part 2!
I always supplied a certificate with every cable run. Never an argument then over 'is it the cable run or equipment that's having an issue'. It looks professional too. Not just data cables stuck in by a sparky.
Nice Video and install. Maybe you can give the customer a hint that the meeting room is acoustically horrible. Videoconferences will sound horrible on the far end ;)
What is the cable length between the server rack and the farthest endpoint?
Re Configuration: are you putting any of the presentation/speaker/printer equipment on a network accessible to the guest? Separate vlans for each tenant? What’s the plan for user isolation?
Hello, sir. Could you tell me, how the cable guys distinguish the copper cables from the bundle? For example, if you mark the network socket at working place as 1, how do you know which cable from the bundle belongs to the network socket at patch panel under the number 1 from the netwok rack side? How do you match them from the both sides?
Good luck with the SALTO locks... an under-door tool is a must. Those particular ones like to get stuck in the locked position, or stop locking all together, or stop accepting cards.... I administer over 500 SALTO XS4's, they look great, are built like tanks, but the PCB design and firmware's are a nightmare, and they over nothing in the way of support, just 'authorized distributors' AKA salesmen.
I saw you terminate and then connect immediately. Do you use cable testers to certify the cables?
Thanks, could you do a video on the punch down tool and how it works. thanks
Hey,
I actually already have an older video on it

I wish my building looked that good, I bet that was a couple penny's to have built.
As always great job! Curious as to how you are managing network segregation for security in a co-working location. Would be great to see a video on that. Would imagine there are "longer term" tenants that would need their own VLAN for both wired and wireless networks along with their own SSID to be interconnected ?
Yup I’ll be going all through this in the third video. Still trying to figure it out but probably wired radius. For long term clients seperate networks
Great video as usual! I am also curious. I help with a Unifi installation at a none-for-profit co-working space. Over the years they have allowed long term tenants setup their own wifi for various reasons which I suspect is now causing issues with the Unifi APs. Thanks again
Amazing work! Are the door locks integrated to UI Access? The radius integration sounds interesting - will you do a video on that and working with the doors?
The doors do not integrate with Unifi access. I won’t be able to show you the door configuration as that’s by a different company but I will show the radius configuration
Phone Booths have almost come full circle
Hello from Germany,
I have a question about Unifi. Will there be a new PTZ G5 gen that replaces the PTZ G4? I hope what you showed in the video is just a small version of the big one.
With that many potential devices, do you use any of the layer 3 features for inter-VLAN routing (to take load off the UDM)? Love to see a demo of that if so. Great video Cody!
Ya will most likely be doing that. This space won’t be opening till July so right now we’re in the testing phase. Once July hits will know how many clients we have
Do you VLAN every individual office?
nice work, looks amazing. question in regards to the aggregation switch, why go for the larger model when u could have gone with the 8 port model based on the video where it only used 6 port, is it due to scalability?
Will be adding more gear to this setup so the 8 port aggregation wouldn’t have worked
Very nice cable management and rack setup! But why didn't you leave a service loop for the cables?
There is in the ceiling :)
@@MactelecomNetworks wow, good idea! This makes the whole rack even more clean
I would give that a B-, you need to get better Patch Panels and Keystones. I imagine you outbid others since they are using better quality hardware.
I would also like to see some type of cable ladder supporting all those cables coming down from the ceilings.
Ubiquiti is cheap for a reason, for a budget deal I would go with Meraki over Unifi.
Adding Sonos will screw up security, I would prefer the LAN is firewalled just like a Guest Wifi, no traffic between endpoints. I guess maybe you could allow traffic for only printing and Sonos and block everything else.
Overall good job, but if I were paying $250+ per drop I would want to see better network hardware.
No shadow mode for the USM-SE? Could a case be made for the UDM Pro Max?
We will be installing the UDM pro max here but in saying that the UDM se has shadow more it’s just in early access
are those POE switches right next to the relaxation room? I'm sure 6 sets of mini whiny fans is very relaxing!
Also, just 8 APs for all of that seems a bit low. Sure you might be able to get the coverage since it's all glass, but in terms of capacity it's going to be a tough one. You'll probably have quite a bit of hidden node issues which will cause high jitter...
I doubt the room will hear the fans the door in the network room
Is pretty thick. Also wasn’t my design lol
As for wifi coverage we designed it in Ekahau AI pro so should be good but if not will add some more
@@MactelecomNetworks I don’t doubt you planned the coverage well. Your coverage will be “just ok” but (a) it doesn’t seem to be planned for capacity and (b) I’m guessing there’s almost zero secondary coverage so if one AP fails that whole corner becomes unusable.
Since it’s a coworking space and not a fixed office, 90% of the users will be only on WiFi so AP coverage needs redundancy, or they’ll be hounding you if an AP fails
Damn, the back looks as clean as the front. Good job Cody!
The aggregation switch is operate Layer 3 routing?
It will eventually
3:10 - What is the length of the patch cables you use?
about 6 inches
Are the green/white "european-style" exit signs new in north america? I always thought you had the red/white "EXIT" signs. First time ive notice an green/white in a video.
Honestly I don’t know 😂
That conference room is going to echo so bad on vc calls.
Wow, must have been an expensive project!
why do you connect all of the patch cables if there isnt anything on the other end? that leave all of the jacks hot and anyone can plug anything in.
That’s correct. It’s a co working space so we never know who’s going to be using what data jack.
@@MactelecomNetworks so you allow anyone to connect anything at anytime? thats just crazy.
I am sure Cody is gonna set up some VLAN and firewall rules for different purposes to prevent any malicious acts.
@@ericzhuo9077 it will most likely be done with wired radius we’re still trying to figure that out how to integrate with the app we’re using
@@trick0502I used to think the same…..but later I realized I’d rather change a port setting remotely than have to go onsite to connect a panel to a switch. Everything is hot, but can be easily blocked without going onsite. It also looks cleaner with everything neatly connected.
Do you guys only ever use Unifi equipment? Nothing wrong with that, just asking.
Sure If the client wants something different we will but it’s mostly Unifi
The networking install looks awesome! The interior design is pretty terrible. Noise will be pretty bad with all the hard surfaces
Ya it was a little echoed in the reception area. The other offices seem fine though
Fully agree on the acoustics! All hard surfaces and square angles. Bad acoustics tire. As salary cost per hour is so much higher than rent per hour, it should be an easy pick when prioritizing between surface and sound.
That conference room must be a nightmare, but I guess they will promote the visual impression when pitching the workspace to potential tenants. I would prefer sitting in an outdated interior but with good acoustics, temperature, light and air.
Why do you patch every point? I was always taught that you patch only what is in use.
This is a coworking space so we have no clue who’s going to be in what room
I’ll be covering this in the config video
TIL about salt walls, wtf O.o
I’ll show it off when it’s in. Apparently it’s good for you
You need to get yourself an LTT Screwdriver!
@MactelecomNetworks did you get yourself a UTP-TouchMax phone yet?
