This office consisted of 12 data runs, one fax jack, and 2 door phones. Each desk got 2 data jacks, one for PC and one for VoIP phones. While the VoIP phones generally have a pass thru jack, it is best to have a separate jack for PCs and VoIP - to physically isolate the networks in the event that they want to run the VoIP on DSL while running the PCs on a cable modem while not having a multi-WAN router, or in the event that they want to change one of the jacks for use with analog phones in the future.
Cable was pulled during construction phase, when walls were partially opened. Jacks are all on 1st floor of office, network closet is in basement.

Rest of cabling terminated. 2 RC2A relays for door releases,
1 jack for fax line to connect to cable dial tone,
PAP2 to provide hot dialer for door phones,
double jack to connect lines from PAP2 to door phones and relays. |

| Close up of all hardware mounted. |
All that is left is to get the router installed and connect up all of the patch cords, and to get a surge protector to connect all of the hardware.Power cords for the PAP2 and Viking RC2A's are installed, the power outlet is on the oppisite wall as the panel is, so you can not see the wires (which are neatly hidden above the closet door frame) or the electrical outlet.
EDIT - The customer had the router at the location today so I returned to mount the router and modem, and connect the 3 IP phones that I brought for the installation. The IT guy who is bringing in their PCs and server is going to have to bring in a switch if they plan on using all of the installed jacks.
