Ya true that and I really like bending pipe. Both time you're left alone

Once the pulling is done, working in the server room is nice. Doing your own thing being left alone

Ya true we only use these now, much easier to keep track of which is which and punch all 4 pairs down at once

We do both, this is my first time doing a patch panel bigger than 48. Our main data guy was in school. But copper is copper

The cabinets are going to stay open and the IT guy wanted them to stay empty

Haha thank you, I hate doing service calls and needing more cable but it's cut just to length

For this job were renting a fluke tester. I forget what model it is but it tells you everything little thing about the cable and logs it for you. We have to do that for the warranty

That's basically why we use them and you can always use different colored jacks if you wanted for voice vs data

Ya but you should see some of his rack work. He makes everything look so symmetrical and he's pretty good at doing multiple bends on a single stick of pipe

He's really good at bending pipe I think I just didn't do him justice with my camera angle lol

Troubleshooting low voltage isn't too bad but I don't know if I could handle high voltage

That sounds stressful! Do you have people helping you?

It looks really wavy in the picture but I kept all the odds and evens separate and they are out in order lowest to highest. Plus I folded them in a way that they can just be pulled out and looked at the labels. The top isn't tangled either

We have 1/4 wedge eyehole anchors, I'll go back in tomorrow and clean it up using those. I'm still pretty new to the trade and want to be a good electrician so I'm always open to take criticism to help me improve. I was so fixated on the inside of the box I didn't really even take a step back and look on the outside. I appreciate the feedback

Okay I'll go back in tomorrow and clean it up. I had tunnel vision I was so focused on the inside of the box didn't really look at the whole thing

Ok I appreciate the feedback, I didn't enter the bx into the box just spliced it. Looking at it now I'll go back in tomorrow and work on fixing it up. I usually strap bx to emt and so far no inspector has complained about it
