Everything working!

Small network hidden inside the wall.

We prewired this network after the construction phase we had to run the wires behind the baseboard molding. The customer wanted the network hidden out of sight, after everything was completed and the location of the network was determined.

Getting everything hidden behind the wall.

Since it is a very small network we were able to cut out a section of the sheetrock and hide the router, switch and patch cables inside of the wall behind an access panel.

Everything hidden out of the way.

Small network cleanup with surface mount box

So I installed phones at this customer, and a week later he called to complain that his network was "messy" and when are we going to come back and clean it up.

BEFORE

Generally I don't like to touch a network that I didn't install, and there is no reason for me to touch it, which is why it wasn't cleaned up when the IP phones were initially installed. It also cost time and money to neaten up an existing network, and someone has to pay for that.

Box and hardware mounted inside.

So we were given the OK to neaten the network and installed a box to hide everything in. All of the hardware was mounted inside of the metal box with double sided tape. 

Closed up box.

The customer was satisfied with the end result, and in the end it only took about half hour to put together. 

AFTER

12 inch deep rack installed and patched in

Sometimes where the customer needs or wants their network to be located does not offer sufficient space for a full sized wall mount rack. This was the case with this installation where the depth of the closet was very narrow.

So we installed a 12 inch deep wallmount rack to conserve space. Also installed are ICC blank patch panels, Cisco switches, a Cisco router, Bogen UTI-1 for paging, and a Trip-Lite rack mounted surge protector.
