Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Made money from the CAT 3 runs. Made money with the updated CAT 5 runs...
In the old buildings we worked on, we called that the seismic reinforcing program.
Nobody wrecked out the old wire and we kept weaving new copper through there.
That nursing home that I last worked for had 25 pair phone cable to each telephone. When I updated to a digital system I used 1 pair for that.
My entry into network support arose from the fact that the "plumber/electrician" installed CAT 5 and CAT 3 throughout a 3-story commercial property. He also did phone wiring.Same here, as the company I w*rked for makes network cable testers. The need for speed makes for some great businesses!
He created a good deal of work for me. My first time at their home building the doctors were scratching their heads at how badly things performed, and the wait time for Windows to give up. So, he was able to get most of the wires correct, and the terminals would work. But then there was the little problem of some wire colors not matching at both ends...
It was too much fun setting up continuity tester and climbing the back stairs to see which cable went where, and correcting/documenting. He removed all the markings at the patch panel and at the wall termination.
It did not phase me at all. I had also created a detailed diagram, and began identifying all the hardware, the runs, and so on.
Over 20 years it was up and down for me as he outfitted 5 offices in a larger area. They paid me well to go wherever and fix the problems he created.
