Howdy,
I currently have a 10base2 line that is limited to 10 Mbps.
Other things held equal, what would the speed be were I to
replace that line with Cat5...?

Howdy,
I have two systems that are about 600 feet apart.
They are currently connected by (and forgive me if I don't
have the proper name) 10-Base-2 with BNC fittings running

I am hoping to use some existing fiber cables that are already
installed in my building to distribute my network.
I have four areas, all cabled back to one place, so I want to put in a
fiber switch (or alternative ?) to join them all. Any recomendations

Or more accurately, how do I *apply* the wires (to this CAT6 terminal),
since the colour coding is obvious:

I've got solid core cable. Do I unwind the pairs and just slot them in?

I inherited an existing 4" conduit about 200 feet long that has one 90
degree bend.
It has an existing 12-strand fiber (currently used), 1x25 pair and 1x50
pair copper, and a pull string.  

What's the origin of the term "biscuit jack"?  And what exactly does it
refer to?  Or is it (has it become) a generalization like RJ45?

Good Day,
I was handed a network that I am responsible for.  I do not have a lot of
experience with cabling which is why I am coming here for some advise.
I have ran some cable, eight runs which is connected to a Cat5e Patch Panel.

All,
Looking for a wallmount cabinet 12-15U, two or three sections.
The one I have seen uses a large 'key' with a lug on each side and there
is a long 'bolt arrangement' (screw) which is used to close the sections

Forgive me if this is not the correct group.
We have a patch cabinet with 2 3com 48 port panels for the LAN and
also 3 panels for the telephone system. I am attempting to draw up a
diagram detailing what's patched to where (socket nos, tel ext nos

I have a subcontract job where I'm being asked to install a
pre-terminated fiber patch cable in a 1-1/2" Carlon plenum-gard
conduit.  The total length of the run is about 100 feet, with (3)
90-degree turns one sweeping 180-degree turn.  What's the best approach

I have problem with access to internet.
My line card (modem) was several times burned out.
Maybe the problem is because of EMC between power and communication cable.
Please, tell me does the communication cable from computer to

So after the big hunt for Caddy-style sheetmetal brackets to mount
the plates on the wall....the homeowner tore the wall down to put
in better insulation.
So, with new drywall going up, do we have the drywaller put

-------------------------------------
I'm looking at buying a used/refurbished Agilent Framescope 350 of Fluke
DSP 4300. I'm a end user and need this to test horizontal cat5/cat5e and
multi-mode fiber. Any comments on the beter piece of tester to buy?

Appreciate anyone can advise which termination is better - Direct
termination or Splicing termination for scenario below.
Where can I find the comparison information such as advantage and
disadvantages, signal loss ?

So Straight Line Supply is gone.... I'm again looking for names
of suppliers of Leviton, patch cables, etc. that you are
happy with -- both price and service wise...
