Reason for the phone system next to the IDF is due to old telephone lines and or digital phones. Nice video, it's good to watch other people go through the same pain :D
I thought as much. Just a weird spot to put it. Also this is an MDF not an IDF so it makes it stranger to me. Especially since this was a small centre with multiple shops.....so who is the ipecs system for?! Can't wait for someone to get angry with old equipment and disconnect it. :P
I wonder if that double punch was a remnant from before DSL you know analog phone where they wanted the same line in two different spaces. Although it was a bit hard to follow what was going on. That's why it's definitely worth taking a little time to investigate what's going on. Fibers where it's going but there's definitely a lot to be liked about copper.
Yeah I love the copper. So much easier to work out where lines are and where they're going. As well as tracing with tone and probe devices. The double punch definitely would have been from the analog phone days and probably would have potentially made a "bride tap" issue as well. Sorry if it was hard to follow. On this particular job there were a lot of people I had to cut out and it can be hard to make commentary while thinking about whats going on & talking with the customer etc...

10:00 yes it is it's not over a toilet or something like that.
Well copper lines in the UK will be retired by 2027. Our PSTN and ISDN will be shut down by 2025.
:(
@@CommsGuynot sure why anyone would miss the old system. It was painfully slow
