Thank you!!!

Hi❤

Good question, as a licensed low-voltage cable contractor what I have found is installing Jacks in a clockwise direction works well only when you have under 10 jacks in a small office. However, when you're doing a major install of hundreds of jacks (or anything more than 10 jacks) putting each jack in some sort of order does not work well. However using a tool called "the cable identifier" can save you about 30% labor or more. I have found that the customer would rather have a savings on their final invoice rather than have some sort of order. This way of cabling makes it patch panel centric not Jack centric. Check out my other videos on how to design network cabling, especially for large installations.

Thank you for your comment and I agree with you.

Hey, thanks for the question. I appreciate it. I have installed thousands of networks all over the country and I have never had a problem when using pulleys. The best thing about using the pulleys is that you do not have to use a lot of pulling force. Using pulleys also help for over long distances and turning corners.

Thank you for your question. I could write a book on how to start an IT company. The way I started my company was with zero dollars. However, start with small installations and if you have enough for a box of cable and 20 jacks that's about all you need to get started. I started with less. I know it sounds crazy but that's what I did. However, if you have some resources, and can afford to buy a box of cable some jacks some tools then you are ahead of the game.

Thank you! Cheers!

Great idea I have done that also. I heard a salesman once tell a customer that his equipment was earthquake proof. I asked him what he was referring to, and he said that he puts wheels/casters on the bottom of his data cabinets. Interesting and funny idea, but it got him the job in Southern California known for its earthquakes.

@@CableSupply yea one thing I’ve learned being in IT we tend to learn to predict YOY once we see how things are in our area and environment

I just use a cheap stud finder from Home Depot. I have not tried that smart sensor, but I seen videos on KZfaq on what it can do. Sounds like a great idea and maybe I'll try it in the future. Thank you for watching my video and please subscribe.

To answer your question there are two reasons why I like the cheap inexpensive drywall saws. first of all working in a construction setting my tools, sometimes get up and walk away on your own. but secondly and more importantly, I like the cheap ones because they have the thinner blades that work best when you're using a pumpkin cut. I was planning to answer that question in the this video, but forgot to include it. I am grateful that you watch the video and your comment is fantastic. It helps me to explain what I should have explained in the video. The idea is thinner is better for this type of cut. If you remember, please subscribe.

You're welcome

Thank you for watching the video and thank you for your comments. I understand what you're saying I've been doing this for three decades. But there's not a lot of time on a one minute short to describe everything. This patch cord will fail shortly. when someone moves the cable once or twice, the cable will fail. The IT manager should have standards to prevent this type of installation. I am not trying to be precise here, but to be accurate. I do appreciate the fact that you watched the video and commented please subscribe.

Thank you for watching my channel video and commenting. That's true the doctors that I have known have always been very frugal. They have a lot of expenses with student loans and working for big corporations. It's not a field I would want to go into today however, it cost more to make a patch cord out of solid copper cable, rather than buy a patch cord that's made with stranded cable and has been tested with all the protections molded in. Please subscribe.

@@CableSupply Student loans whatever - they make up for that quickly. The reality is a lot of university graduates get a false sense of being experts in one field qualifies them in other fields. I’m a better telecom consultant than most doctors are in biology. I say this with (nearly) zero arrogance, but 100% experience.

Yes, this is a handyman special. From my experience in managing and training Yes, this is a handyman special. From my experience in managing and training Mehdi technicians technicians over the years. There are some who enjoy making their own patch cords, but the time involved in making the patch cord is more than the cost of buying a new one. The new ones are tested and built with strain relief and other features that makes patchcords more resilient to wear. Thank you for watching the video and commenting. Please subscribe.

Thank you for watching the video and for your comment. The problem with using homemade patch cords is exactly what you see on the short video. another point is that it's made with solid wire which is really designed to be put behind a wall. professionally made patchcords use stranded wire, which means you can bend them, wiggle them yank on them, and they have a lot of durability. Homemade patchcords using solid wire is prone to failure. Please subscribe. Thanks

After being a licensed low voltage contractor for over three decades, I've learned a lesson don't touch other peoples work, or else you own the problem. They have their own IT staff and I do not want to interfere with someone else's responsibility. Thank you for watching the video and I appreciate your comment.

Some of my technicians would love to do their own terminations, but I have found out that the time it takes to terminate a patch cord for a technician does not make it cost-effective. Plus, the failure rate is a lot higher for the homemade patch cords. Tech made patch cords are made using solid inside wire that has been designed not to be moved around once installed the solid wires often fatigue from bending and therefor fail. The failures of cheap patch cords for an installation company is very expensive! This is what we would call "go backs" would not only be expensive, but also hurt your reputation as an installer. Patch cords are so inexpensive that I would often buy packs of 30 patch cords and keep them in each of my trucks. all my trucks had blue patch cords and their cost was such that I could give them a way to customers for free. Thank you for watching the video and also thank you for your comment. I always ask commenters could you go back and subscribe it helps the channel and if you like my content, it's a form of thank you and an encouragement to make more videos.

Not sure what you mean.

Thank you for watching the video and commenting. To answer your question with only 55 seconds it is really difficult to add all the details that are necessary concerning this installation. If I had more time, I would've went into more detail. My point is, don't waste your time building your own patch cords when professionally made patch cords are very inexpensive.

To answer your first question, we are overstocked and shell space is valuable. To answer your second question I remember those days also, however, patch cords that are made by the manufacturer or is such high quality and low cost that's not worth my time and making my own patch cords.
