How to wire up an intercom phone system distribution point (DP)

[@elprimo5131]

thankyou , instructions are very clear ! Godbless!

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Thank you, God bless you too

[@adamnasher944]

You’re amazing. Thank you 🙏

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

You are so welcome

[@tonny_n]

Short and clear and well understood ..Note:care should be taken when punching down..the blade should be on the side of the excess wire to be cut off,!Is it right,Sir?😅

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Absolutely. That's right

[@princeawuni5024]

Concise video! Please, why didn’t you arrange them in the order of striped blue,solid blue and striped orange and solid orange ?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

The order you stated will work when you use it consistently at both ends of your cable but i used the standard convention which would enable everyone that knows the convention to be able to work on it without difficulty

[@Reign-sn6bg]

thank you so much sir...my question: working on a single building of over 25rooms, is it necessary to use a DB? is distance a barrier for direct connection from PABX to the socket?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

The DP would not be necessary in a single building. Distance is not a barrier at all, you can do the direct connection.

[@samuelsackey750]

Great video, sir what is the use of the distribution point

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

This is most appropriate when you have two buildings. From where you have the pbx switch, you can take a multi core cable onto a DP to be spread to locations

[@SmashEngineeringServices]

Hi can i use two or more DP? Lets say two storeys, and a detached security room. first floor cat6 are 4 in number, So i punch them down into distribution box and pick from DP with Multicore cable to the other security building, and punch the multicore it into DP and lastly take it from DP with cat6 and crimp into PBX?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Yes, you can use many DPs as you have done. You are doing a perfect connection.

[@SmashEngineeringServices]

@@Tech_Inside_Out thank u so much for your class.

[@SmashEngineeringServices]

Sir. Let’s say i want to use 1 cat6 cable for 4 rooms next to each other. Single line can I use blue white blue for 1, orange white orange for 2, the third room green white green and the last 4th room brown white brown. ? Do they all go to the 2 and 3 pins in the rj11 connector? Pls lastly 😅 from the Dp box to pbx, if I punch down from the first line on Dp orange white orange,blue white blue, green white green, brown white brown. Will I still be able to pick it same way from dp to rj11 to pbx? Or you say I’m reimagining too much 😊

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

1. Provided you would be able to separate all the cable pairs in the Cat 6 for the four rooms, it would work. 2. Yes, pin 2&3 3. You should be able to pick it from the DP and ensure you do your matching properly

[@SmashEngineeringServices]

@@Tech_Inside_Out I’m going to experiment the punch down to dp and same as I asked, see if it works per my wiring before I actually work on it. I’ll revert. Thanks so much

[@kodompaul8190]

Please, can I use a CAT 6 cable ? I can't find some of the CAT 5e cable..

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Yes, you can.

[@kelechicharles166]

Please does it mean you can use the DP to connect many telephones on Extension jack? That is if you have like say 100 telephones, can you use 16ext jack pbx with DP to connect them all?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

No, that is not the case. I will try and do a comprehensive explanation on that in a video. It won't be the next video on the channel, but it will come soon.

[@PlentyGistTVGH]

@Tech_Inside_Out it's been 6 months please any idea when that video coming?

[@iTechnologiesGhana-gj8fv]

@@PlentyGistTVGH Would have loved to learn from that video

[@SmashEngineeringServices]

@@Tech_Inside_Out yes please we’re waiting for it

[@iambenqazy]

Quick question Sir. Please Why the need for a Distribution Point if you can wire up straight from the PABX to the keystone jack?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

The DP is mostly used when transferring the pbx feed to a location through multi pair cables. Eg when extending the pbx to a different building, you would need just a single multi pair cable terminated onto a dp and then pick your extensions from the DP

[@iambenqazy]

@@Tech_Inside_Out Oh okay that make sense. Thanks for the reply

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

@@iambenqazy You are welcome

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

​@@Tech_Inside_OutIn a situation you are just working in a building, no need for the dp?

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

​@@Tech_Inside_OutI'm more lost 😢

[@akachukwunnaji5519]

Nice job

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Thanks so much.

[@PlentyGistTVGH]

Why do u need the DP when you can actually wire up from the face plate to the pbx straight? How does the dp help?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Lets take for instance where you are to install pbx in two different structures on one main pbx switch. You will require a multi core cable coming to a DP from where you will distribute the phone extensions to the various locations in that structure. In such an instance. running single cables to each extension will not be needed, all you need is a multi pair cable run to a DP.

[@PlentyGistTVGH]

@Tech_Inside_Out thank you. The dp could be exampled as a poe switch which is like a bridge from cameras to nvr assuming that. Just that it confuses when I hear multi core cables and single cables.

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

@PlentyGistTVGH Multi core cables come as one main cable with multiple pairs of conductors. Eg. You can have a 200 pair multi core cable that you can run so that it can be used to transfer as many as 100 telephone lines to a dp rather than running 100 Cat 5 or 6 cables to different phone locations. It is from the DP that you need to use the Cat 5 or 6.

[@PlentyGistTVGH]

@Tech_Inside_Out wow this is very insightful. Just yesterday we were to continue an abandoned cctv and telephone line installation, and I saw a bigger cable than a cat6 which had about 8pairs in one conductor and I was totally lost. As previous installer didn't finish running telephone lines but fixed face plates to the wall. Thank u very much.

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

@PlentyGistTVGH Yes, that 8 pair cable is an example of a multi core cable. As I mentioned, you can get bigger and larger pairs depending on your project type.

Thank you

[@abdigebeyehu]

sir; i do have a question how many telephone lines comes from telecom service provider and how does voice call of internal and external call routing is made ..

[@abdigebeyehu]

is that possible to use only for internal small office voice call without connecting to telecom service provider

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

You can take as many phone lines as possible from the telephone company. Each phone line comes as a 2 wire line into your premise.

[@Sw33t_Psycho]

do you really need a distribution point? I have wires set up on each office and central point where all the wires meet. The central point will all go into the switch and the office part will go into the wall sockets. that will work right?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Yes, the setup you described will work. The distribution point works in instances where you have two or more buildings sharing thesame PBX machine. At each building, there will be need for a Distribution point and use a multi core cable from the pbx switch to the DP.

[@opssonopsson8282]

​@@Tech_Inside_Outso how do you set up the phone numbers for the individual rooms in the new building or do they just share the same number?

[@ahmdnaube3745]

How is the CO line connected to DP?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

The process is same as wiring an extension

[@ahmdnaube3745]

@Tech_Inside_Out Thanks

CLEAR

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Am glad it was clear. You can find more of my videos at www.youtube.com?@tech_inside_out

[@ZiaIT-Garage]

Why should I use a distribution point(DP) when I can connect my telephone system without it?. How does it help me.?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

I will explain in a video i will publish soon

[@ronaldsohkhlet7488]

I've connect the same as you've shown but it didn't work may I know the rea sons

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

I suspect the punching didn't go well, please re-punch down the cables.

[@RoymekusNwachukwu]

At the distribution box,why is that the cables didn't follow up accordingly like solid blue ,strip blue and solid yellow,strip yellow? Instead of solid yellow, strip blue and solid blue,strip yellow u did?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Telephone system wiring has a code for the wiring which must be followed. It is a standard to enable anyone other than the one that installed the system to be able to easily trace faults in a telephone system.

[@ytechengineeringservicesltd]

Sir, I have a question. Is it compulsory to include a telephone distribution point (krone)? Can't it be done directly.

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

The krone is used where you need to extend extensions to a distant location eg, another building that is having many extensions. In such a case you will use a multi pair cable and take to that Krone and from the krone you can distribute to extensions. So yes, you can wire your lines directly.

[@ytechengineeringservicesltd]

@@Tech_Inside_Out thank you very much sir. You're a blessing!

[@Hamzabouhsoune]

Hi our hotel phone was working normal, after light outage and return, when i click on the botton number ta call someone outside of the hotel it doesn't work, and it gave me on the screen " button without function" please can help me fix it

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

Please check your outgoing, CO line. It might be faulty.

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

Cant i just run the cable to the socket directly without the dp?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

You can do direct cabling into the sockets but in an installation where there are different buildings connected to one pbx switch, you would need the dp in each building from where you would distribute to the various sockets in that building

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

@@Tech_Inside_Out noted sir

[@iTechnologiesGhana-gj8fv]

@@Tech_Inside_Out I'm surveying an abandoned job where the main building has cat6 are all run into the walls with the traditional RBG and yellow wire telephone socket fitted. A pair of multi core cables in a junction box. In The other building,a security room has pair of multicore cables in the junction box as well,and some cat6 too. My Question.How many distribution point is needed at each building, or only a single DP would work as you demonstrated in this video?

[@Phavouriteinstallations]

Must it always be orange and blue?

[@Tech_Inside_Out]

It is the blue pair and the green pair. It is an internationally accepted standard
