I have been called in to run 33 CAT6 cables through a customer supplied 2"
PVC conduit. To top it off the run is a 2 story vertical drop. I know the
conduit will be grossly overfilled according to the fill charts. But I guess
my question is-- What is the ramification of an over ...

i was told that just because you run cable between a drop ceiling and
the hard ceiling doesnt make it plenum.
If all air ways are enclosed in some sort of duct work it is NOT
plenum.

A company I do a lot of commercial subcontract work for has asked me
to give them a price on wiring approximately 70 townhouses for voice,
data and video.  My plan so far is to provide (2) CAT5e and (2) RG6
Quad-Shield to a single location in each bedroom, the living room, and

So, I have been looking at the specs for some branded CAT6 jacks
and they rarely mention for how many inserts the jack is rated
(also called ''plug insertion life'') and the few that state it
state more than 750 (some more than 1000) insertions.

I've been a Leviton installer for years and, on small and medium jobs,
it's common to pull multiple cables without tagging them, trim the
jacks, then tone them for placement on a patch panel.
It didn't seem like a big deal to do this on my 28 drop Panduit job.

Newbie question, sorry.
I  have a router in one room at the front of the house, and I want to
connect it to a PC in a room at the rear. So I want to run a cable

I have a cat5 run that goes from a router to a control room.  I need to run
cat5 from that control room to the location of a single PC.  My question is
this: How can I join the two cat 5 wires together?  Do I have to use a
powered switch?  I tried using a connector that joins two ...

I will be moving into a new house soon and need some cable advice. The house
will be wired with home-run CAT5 cables for phone. I want to use the unused
orange and green pairs for my network, keeping the blue pair for phone. Is
this advisable? I have heard reference to doing this ...

I've run into a situation where someone ran 200' of CAT5 through a
buried 2" PVC from their main building to a 2nd building. Currently they
are using the CAT5 wire to tie together the networks and extend some of
their CO lines from the DEMARC in the main building to the out ...

I have a Netgear DG632 ADSL Modem Router and would like to know how i
could rack mount it in my Comms Cabinet.  It isn't designed to be
mounted [i think], but i wasn't sure if there are devies that can be
used to make mounting them possible.
