About 65-70 CAT5 wiring/jacks install.
Had 2 guys helping on this install, Took about a week, I was called away to several service calls for 2 days while the other guys continued pulling the wiring as I planned out for them.
 |
| Punching in the patch panels. |
Exposed bricks, between sheetrock sections of wall required lots and lots of wire molding.
 |
| Another view punching in the panels. |
We had to plan out how to run the wiring. Originally I was going to drill down at each jack and bring the wire up from the basement. This plan however seemed like it would take too long, the final product wouldn't look as good, and would leave the wire vulnerable to being damaged by moving furniture and cleaning the floor.
 |
| Yet another view of the panels being punched in. |
We snaked the wire downstairs to the basement where we installed the rack inside sections of the sheetrock walls and mounted wire molding basically around the entire office.

 |
| Hole cut out to snake wire to basement and sheetrock mounted jacks. |
 |
| More wire molding |
 |
| Even more wire molding and surface mount boxes. |
 |
Customer complained about the corners of the molding where wiring is exposed,
but there is little that can be done to conceal this.
This size wire molding does not have corner pieces. |
 |
| more wire molding... |
 |
| ...and more... |
 |
| Even more... |
 |
| Transition to being snaked behind walls to wire molding. |
 |
| More wire molding |
 |
Since less wire needs to be run past this point,
we dropped down to a smaller size wire molding. |
 |
The back rooms are an addition to the building,
so they had to be completed completely in wire molding. |
 |
| ...and it runs around pretty much the entire office... |
 |
| Took us almost a full day just to get the wire molding mounted/installed. |
 |
| A wall mounted jack being fed from a wire in the molding. |
 |
| Wire going into the back rooms (building extension) |
 |
| ...and coming back out on the other side of the office... |
 |
| It almost looks like it belongs here... |
 |
| The wall threw-up some CAT5s! |
 |
| Jack fed from the wire molding... |
 |
| Getting the wire molding around all the angles. |
 |
| More exposed brick with wire molding mounted... |
 |
cutout holes to snake down to basement,
and around pipes located inside the wall. |
 |
| That patch panel is starting to take shape now... |
 |
| Patch panel all punched in! |
 |
My slack wires neatened up behind wooden frame,
the mess of wires (between rack and electric meters)
was existing stuff we didn't touch. |
 |
| Got the wiremap remotes plugged in to label/number the jacks. |
 |
Installed dual WAN router
24 port Cisco PoE switch
and patched in all jacks that are currently in use. |
