OK, so just as I was getting sick I was tasked with this job. It required 10 CAT5 runs for 9 IP phones, a small 12 port patch panel, and a device to connect the VoIP system to their overhead paging speakers.
The UTI-1 device that we use to connect to the overhead paging had not arrived in time for the installation, so I will be returning to install that within the next few days.
 |
| The patch panel was mounted towards the center of the warehouse. The wiring was run above the HVAC vents, so the excess loop is exposed and tie-wrapped just above the panel. |
 |
| Patch cords connected to the newly installed switch. |

| Cisco design engineers are either genius or complete idiots. The 504g does not fit on a standard wall plate (although it has the mounting holes for it) because the power and ethernet wires protrude out the back. The official bracket is in the $20-30 range. So I invented my own bracket with a $5 low voltage single gang surface mount box. |

| Another view of the 504g mounted with my solution. |

 |
| While not ideal, I had to run several runs across the front of this shelf unit. I mounted the wire as far as possible from the florescent bulbs as to reduce any potential interference the ballasts may cause. |
 |
| And more newly installed surface run cables. |
 |
| BONUS: This location was an old customer of my previous employer. I installed this 66 block several years ago before I started photographing much of my work. It replaced about 5 or 6 NW1 jacks and really neatened up the TELCO DEMARC. I only wish that I had a before pic for you to compare it to. |
