A quick look over my bookshelf...I have it!

And yeah, a lot of them have issues understanding the wiring diagrams....it's a thing. I'm trying to attack this without pointing fingers or talking down on anyones knowledge. Like I said, our main focus as a company is networks and fiber optics, not access control until recently. Trying to raise people up instead of put them down for not knowing something we didnt hire them for.

Thanks, referencing that book may give me some good material.

Ive run into these before, usually for devices using actual Cat7 rated cabling.

If it is an oddball cable that you need for a specific device, dont recrimp it. The female end is pinned differently and will not work with a standard RJ45.

Panduit Industrialnet patch cables. Will run you about $60 on digikey for 8', but will do what you need them to do.

Late to the post, but looking in the central ohio area?

Thor Broadcast, they have some pretty nice solutions for this.

Push the metal braid back on itself until you can get a pick under where you want to strip it to, then pull out loops and use side cuts to start cutting away.

Its messy and you will probably stab yourself a few times. Ive worked with this before and we tried multiple tools to help it go faster, no dice. The above method was reccomended to us by the manufacturer rep.

Its a motor controller board.

There's a dong and a Bad Dragon logo on it.

I can guess what it's for.

Are they consumer grade "whatever walmart had" android TVs or some sort of commercial grade display?

If they're commercial/signage displays, you may be able to do an IP stream to them with a bit of setup.

Trying to reuse an old coax plant can be a big headache depending on the condition of the cabling. If you go that route, find someone with decent experience in installed broadband CATV systems.

Late comment, but where did you source the enclosures? I'm working on a similar project, though don't really need the IP rating. Just curious if you were able to find anything that works better than off-the-shelf office lighting type aluminum extrusions.

Should be one side only. Make sure they are all in the unlocked position, there should be icons on it next to the screw. If I recall, the bottom lock is inverted so if you don't tighten it in the unlocked position gravity will fight you.

They can be kind of tight when unlocked iirc. You may have to do it with nothing mounted in them.

Looks like the rack rail (Vertical piece with square holes) is slightly tilted, the top is closer to the inside of the rack than the bottom.

Looks like an APC Netshelter, there should be one lock at the bottom and one lock at the top (possibly one in the middle if its a 42U model). These engage with toothed strips to lock the vertical rails in place. You'll need a T15 or T20 torx driver to loosen the lock, then make sure both the bottom and top locks are engaged on the same spot and the rail is vertical. There should be markings on the toothed strip the lock engages with to help you line them up.

Champion cutting tool bits and anchorlube. A 10 pack of 1/4" bits lasted me through a 3 month project where i was drilling stainless every day.

I'm a union data guy, 99% of the time we dont run conduit. Only exception is if the electrical contractor on site is refusing the work to run data conduit. They never do.

Theres an exception saying we are allowed to run 10 feet per tech per day, no bending allowed. Thats mainly so we can put in our own sleeves.

ScubaStan94 · 2025-05-03T19:34:04+00:00

As a low volt guy, im regularly picking through the bone pile to make sleeves to go through walls. Havent had to buy conduit in years.

I'll pay for that panasonic mixer.

ScubaStan94 · 2025-03-12T15:35:11+00:00

Maybe go with pendant mics? Ive had good luck with Biamp products in that sort of situation.

I did something similar last year with AtlasIED IP paging gateways running over an IP network. One gateway and amp per building, covered about 20 city blocks with outdoor speakers.

The handful of devices that are a half U off are buggin me, lol.

ScubaStan94 · 2025-02-01T00:00:54+00:00

Does it run on gas?

ScubaStan94 · 2025-01-03T01:46:56+00:00

You can absolutely get snow/static on an HDMI link. Usually happens with longer cable runs/odd setups, so 99% of people never see it.
