I have to pull cable next week and I have been going between your DIY Telecom and Network Advisor channel - i just wanted to say THANK you for sharing this knowledge. Its the best on YT atm.
wow, that’s really great that you’re getting some useful tips from my channels. that’s why I do it (it’s certainly not making me rich - LOL) good luck with that project! 😁
@@DIYTelecom sharing your various tips and knowledge of the industry is the highest form of intelligence - and one I and many others salute. I will let you know how the cable run and patch panel goes!
@@DIYTelecom went super smooth/great! The workstation i had to connect to the network is in a big warehouse, so the cieling is high. There was already a keystone at the wall. Just had to run cable from that, along some rafters and down a column to the worstation. Turned out easier than I thought. Your videos prepped me for the worst ( running cable from a patch panel and adding keystone). Thank you!
Could you please go into a skyscraper and go through whats going on. I've been in Liberty 1 or Liberty 2 in Philly and my eyes just glaze over. I'd like to know all the demarc equipment, how the data flows to the end lines, where you're supposed to connect a new line in all that mess, what all labeling/marking is on the 66 blocks, etc. I just did a job yesterday in a big building in Philly and find the lack of labeling atrocious and hard to understand. Coming from a networking background I'd put all the demarcs in one spot and label it as a demarc section, then create sections of blocks labeled "to 2nd floor IDF" "to 3rd floor IDF", etc, but evidently the phone guys don't do this kind of thing. Yesterday I had a client moving from the 2nd floor to 3rd floor in a city block sized building. I toned and found the 2nd floor lines to the basement demarc with no problem. I tried to tone a line in the new 3rd floor office and got a tone in the 3rd floor IDF, but no tone in the basement. I have to go back. I think that maybe the lines at the demarc went somewhere else on the 3rd floor and then to the IDF to service the one small office. With all these blocks I get confused which way data is flowing. It would be helpful to have a big building scenario shown and broken down.
hi John. yeah, it came out a little too soft. Unfortunately, YT video work doesn't earn enough money for me to buy a real recording rig with a wireless lapel mic. So, I usually record most of my videos with a smart phone. (which usually isn't too bad, except in this one.). Thanks for watching. Appreciate the feed back. :)

Fire retardant material might be worth covering, as some installations might require it.
That’s a very valid point, Greg! 😃
