Learning Network Cabling - Large Wall Cabinet

[@chiphill4856]

Excellent! I love to see a fellow ocd master at work. I wire boats under 50' and I am learning some stuff from you already. Thanks for the great content!

[@JuanPablo.547]

It's such a good feeling when you have the proper tools, clean work as always!

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Proper takes $

[@sifisoalexmkhaliphi8853]

Love your work. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work.

[@davidscott4318]

Oh okay, understand, thanks for your channel, very interesting how techniques differ here in Australia.

[@tciproductions]

I hear the USA is a bit unusual in that we use drywall everywhere vs brick or concrete. Our US field techs don't always have the right experience and tools to deal with concrete. They usually request a backboard like this for their own stuff since it doesn't fit a rack so well. Is it like that in Australia?

[@davidscott4318]

Office partitions in Australia are usually drywall with metal studs. A wall rack would normally be mounted directly into the drywall ensuring bolts go into the vertical studs.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Great video always. Love the cable combing.

[@szymon.szczesniak]

Jak zawsze dobra robota. Dziękuję za kolejny film i pozdrawiam.

[@tciproductions]

Thank you for saying so, I appreciate that

[@robertmcgehee949]

The neat patches are an extra cost and not needed. Just use 6" or 1' patch cords.

[@MichaelAlderete]

I sure do wish you were located in the Coachella Valley (where Palm Springs is). Finding a data cabling specialist who has your skills and attention to detail seems to be impossible. The one bid I've gotten for my house (a smaller job than you'd do, I imagine) was so vague, and didn't match the detailed project description I provided sufficiently, it felt like the entire installation would be a series of questions and (cost increasing) change orders. So I still have my hillbilly wiring stapled to my ceiling to run from one side of the house to the other...

[@tciproductions]

I appreciate you saying so :) I'm really surprised they are hard to find, it seems like CA is where the data infrastructure folks really thrive. I've had some good luck with electricians if they are into tech stuff, it is a similar job type, and they do learn cat6 as part of their training nowadays.

[@MichaelAlderete]

@@tciproductions I found a great installer in the Bay Area (Kray Cabling), they did a terrific job installing into an 100+ year old Victorian. Really seamless. And if I was closer to Los Angeles, I'd have no shortage of options. But here in the Coachella Valley, the population isn't large enough to support a vibrant ecosystem of specialized contractors (or so it seems). If you're building a custom house, or doing larger remodels, you can find people easily. But smaller jobs, like my house, it's hard to find anyone interested in even calling back. (I think half of that is my fault, you need to be persistent with most contractors in _any_ market, and doubly so here, it seems...)

[@SyberPrepper]

You all do a great job. I'm learning from you and using your techniques whenever I can. Wondering why metal 4" EMT rather than plastic? Not a critique. Just a question. Thanks for another great video.

[@fieldtechacademy]

I just ran across your channel from KZbin recommending one of my videos from yours. You are providing great content that teaches real world skills with great quality videos. I've saved some of your videos to one of my playlists to share with my channel. Many of my viewers ask how they can learn skills like you are showing so I'm curious if you'd consider being a guest on my channel to discuss what you do and introduce my viewers to your content. Thoughts?

[@agt313]

Thanks

[@midnightwatchman1]

I usually do not use a back board unless it an open cabinet or no cabinet

[@StenIsaksson]

A friend call it Homie Depot :)

[@BladeWDR]

What's the purpose of the empty 1U patch panel? Just something they had lying around? Otherwise, a really good looking end result. I wish half the networks I walked into were so structured. :D

[@tciproductions]

I think we were expecting new additions as the staff moved in, but it never came to pass, so we removed it later. Usually people ask for just a couple more wires, and we'd have exceeded the 96 count I think.

[@shreyshah1120]

What do you call the whole set up with the pipes that the cable is fed through? and where do you get it?

[@tciproductions]

Those are called chase pipes, I build them by hand from pipes I get at the hardware store. I shared a video about "ceiling interfaces" if you want more info, but I have not found a pre-made solution so far.

[@shreyshah1120]

@@tciproductions Thank you! I will check out that video.

[@mrcszav25]

what ladder are you using? Been looking for something similar to use for roof top access locations.

[@tciproductions]

So for a leaning ladder, I use this one from usteps: amzn.to/3W66T4Q and for the A-frame, I use this style: amzn.to/4eZCDkV I am sorry to say that prices have skyrocketed since I bought my fleet of ladders, so if you see a cheaper one then don't hesitate to grab it up. The usteps are quite good, I have bought many types and theirs is the least likely to smash your fingers on collapse.

[@PhobosTK]

23:31 are these fans poe or do they have their own dedicated psu?

[@tciproductions]

They use a standard power plug and would go into a normal power strip socket or similar. They are pretty common in the Navepoint brand network racks, I don't always utilize them though. A PoE modification would be pretty cool actually.

[@thomasthompson3704]

why is the backer board need when concrete is in place?

[@tciproductions]

Backer is needed for other vendors so they don't have to drill into the concrete. Stuff like the ISP, security FOB readers, fire alarm, whatever else comes after.

[@elwyns]

Sorry i'm new in your channel , but for this small bay , why not using small wires 15cm to 30cm , etheir directly from patch panel or with small front cable manager 1U ? , sure it's beautiful like this, but for removing or adding wire that a mess and you lost lot of space for more devices and it's very expensive neat patch edit : ok i saw your video "Patching in a small business or home rack" , i understand better , that's works if we havnt customer touching cables all day :o ,oh and generally don't work, we have poe switch and more non poe, so when we need to reach 1m up the patch panel we use side and simple patch panel ( 'in my country electricians do the job of pulling wires )

You should get head cam holder

[@tciproductions]

I know, sorry about the shake. I will get better eventually.

[@GaetanoCostanza]

Why not use patchbox

[@tciproductions]

I'll use those in a future vid, not to worry

[@JPenman33]

Hilti is the best for all things concrete.

[@kristopherleslie8343]

Having a battery by the panels 😂 not a good look but understandable

[@davidscott4318]

Can't understand why you need the backboard? Why not screw the cabinet directly onto the concrete?

[@tciproductions]

Usually the backboard is there for miscellaneous ISP and telco devices, or security boxes like door controls. We have to give their field guys something they can screw into easily.

[@pepeshopping]

Good work. Surprised you have to spent time getting a piece of wood and screws. I try to have 100% of everything I could ever need, in stock.

[@tciproductions]

I burn through them fast. I keep a lot of it in stock, but I wanted to go shopping for tools :)

[@baseballlion1615]

Second

[@docugraf]

I don't get the advantages of an additional backerboard on a concrete wall.

[@patrickkinsella8067]

Its handy for any little extra devices. You just have to put a couple of scrws into wood and not worry about drillling into conrete for a littel controller or isp devices, etc.
