Hey you!!! Take care of youself!!! You don’t need any trips to the hospital this year!!! 😕
I agree with starbreeze the hospitals round here are slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
Data wiring is about 1/4 done. So many tiny wires to work with. That’s 216 wires so far, on two ends. When it’s all done that panel will have .. *calculator* 2880 wires in it.
See Snap, we found you some helpers!!! 😆 Seriously, that’s a lot of wires!!! Is that the total for all the servers you’re setting up or are there more???? 😯
I have a question…with all of that stuff/hardware what do you do about dust? I always have a lot of dust bunnies appearing im my comp. 🙂
While hiding somewhere in my head I'm on the lookout for white oriental dragons! Please let me know if you know of any available. Thank you!
1. That’s cute.
2. Closed circulation (recycled) air conditioning and sealed doors.
3. I started with a bag of 1000 cable ties and it’s about 2/3 gone.
That wiring goes to the nine racks in the colocation space, plus the 33 more to come. So when all the racks are here, then that panel will be full. So I’m only filling 1/4 of it right now, and I’m about 1/2 done.
Sitting in the boardroom, watching TV, slowly wiring jacks..
Last cabinet panel prepped…
Now to install it and put the other ends on in the cabinets…
Eeep!!!! I hope none of them ever go bad!!! I wouldn’t want to try and find it in the spaghetti bundle!!! 😯
That’s what the testing tool is for.
The runs are marked by the color and position in the rack, and if a run does go bad, the tool tells you what’s wrong and how many feet down the line it is. At that point, you just drop another cable in and replace it, you don’t try to fix it.
I also have the drops grouped up in three, six and 18 drop groups, hence all the cable ties.
Wow!!! That’s great that it tells you how many feet it is down the line!!! Just dropping another cable in makes a lot of sense and probably really shortens any downtime. Cool!!! 🙂
That’s what you get for a tool that costs $8000.
It’s necessary to know if there’s any problems with the cable when you’re using it for gigabit, or even 10 GB now. If you don’t twist the ends the right way you get echoes, reflection, crosstalk, return loss… etc. etc. etc.. they even have fancy names for it like near-end crosstalk and far-end crosstalk and powersum capability and blah blah blah blah…
