New Rack - Step By Step Installation

[@PoseidwnTech]

Hey Guys! I would like to share with you a video regarding the cable tester that I use : kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSwYYptbLplbrssi=u1WkAqr1x1Vqd_id and a beginner's guide to UniFi Network : kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIacfJqQo5iMhrs

Πολύ επαγγελματική δουλειά, με επαγγελματικά εργαλεία και άψογη τακτοποίηση καλωδίων. Ελάχιστοι θεωρώ στην Ελλάδα κάνουν τέτοια δουλειά ακόμα και σήμερα.

[@zadekeys599]

Great video! Some suggestions: 1) Strain relief bar behind the patch panel. 2) Shorter patch cables - have longer ones near by if need be. Unlikely for a home user to critically redesign the rack. 3) Don't use cable ties. If you must, then use velcro under it. 4) Use patch cables with colour to easily ID cables. IE red = WAN ; yellow = PoE ; green = Voip ; blue = x ; purple = y etc 5) Use black patch panels with inline coupler type keystones. Makes installation much faster & maintenance/troubleshooting is easier. 6) Service loop & resulting cable should be to the side, out of the way of deeper devices, which could damage the cable. 7) Label power plugs.

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your suggestions!

[@JohnVanderbeck]

And use the proper tool for cutting cable ties. Why does NO ONE ever use a proper tool? Flush cut cable ties are a series of sharp knives waiting to open someone's arms. The proper tool pulls the tie then cuts it so that the cut end ends up BELOW the surface

[@travellerseko]

@@JohnVanderbeck can you share a link for that? I would like to buy it

[@PWingert1966]

The panel that you hammered out could have been neatly removed using your flush mount cutters. It would have saved the risk of damaging or wrapping the opening and ensured a clean opening without the sprues that were left by hammering out the panel.

Hooking that Dream Machine to a DSL line has got to hurt.

[@sanjaymistry-sales]

I had the same though. The traffic locally will be superb, I am not sure what would be the max speed on DSL? 10Mbps? I have the USG + USW8 + 2 AC AP Pros + 2x RPi4.

[@petek9348]

in greece 100 meg DSL is common. a large portion of the united states only has dsl, and its 10 meg. so... theres that.

[@Thomate1375]

400megs are possible... But mostly it's not even close to it

[@Thomate1375]

But this cat5 cables are also limiting the speed in the house^^

[@Taylor1147]

@@Thomate1375 How do you figure?

[@experimental0000]

Main critique is using those zip ties. Never use zip, always go for velcro. This way you've easier expandability in the future and it makes redoing wiring easier than having to try and cut zips, especially if some person makes them super tight.

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your feedback. I will try velcro next time!

[@Vegasguy79]

I use zip ties. I think they look cleaner, and as long as you're not moving your stuff around all the time, it's cheap to buy more when you need them. :)

[@jleote]

@@Vegasguy79 Im telco. Im not allowed to use zip ties for several good reasons. So out of that I dont use them at home either. Its either velcro or "sewn" in with a waxed 9ply cord. lol

Nice job. I love the Panduit Mini-Com system. You can use Panduit's blanks to fill in the open ports in the patch panel. I would have put the Dream Machine on top of the cabinet so that the cabinet doesn't interfere with the Wifi RF signal though. You could drill a hole in the top of the cabinet and put a grommet to protect the wires passing through.

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your comment! Do you have a link for Panduit’s blanks? I left the dream machine inside the rack because the access point covers only the office with the rack. The other rooms have their own access points.

[@aaa000777]

@@PoseidwnTech , that makes sense to leave it in the rack in that case. The Panduit blank is part number CMBBL-X. They are available in packs of 10, 30 or 50. Here is a link to a seach on ebay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=CMBBL-X&_sacat=0 or on Amazon www.amazon.com/s?k=CMBBL-X&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 I also like the Panduit patch panels that have the removable sections of 4 jacks because it means that you can remove the jacks from the front of the rack without needing access to the rear. This has come in very handy! I reserve one section of 4 for each wall jack in my house. This makes it easy to locate the correct jack on the panel. Here is an example of that type. www.ebay.com/itm/PANDUIT-CPP24WBLY-Patch-Panel-Mini-Com-Rack-Mt-24-Port-Used-but-never-used/184266109345?hash=item2ae71db1a1:g:hwgAAOSwY4NeoxGN -bob

[@DeclanGreen]

What a good friend you are to do this.Thanks for sharing

[@PoseidwnTech]

[@RobertWilke]

This was quite informative and easy to follow along. That said I had a moment with the reasoning of the separate ISP connection. That was until I realized the connection that was on the patch panel was from the equipment the ISP provider had to put in first. Then the patch cable to the modem. It's good that DSL is that fast where you are. Here in the states DSL came and went. They never pushed it as much as they could because of what else but cost. Thankfully i'm in an area with fiber to the home. So when they came in I have their equipment to the router I use. Again thank you this will be useful when I set up my new home.

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your feedback! It is really great to have fiber to home! I hope that we will have it here soon...

the brush 10:38 with which you pass the cables in the lower part of the rack cabinet, where can you buy it? Thank you

[@PoseidwnTech]

The brush was included with the Rack! I will search and if i find one i will post it!

[@H1pok0ndr1ak]

TBH using the brush with all that sharp metal after removing the knockout panel, is not going to protect the cables. I prefer to use an edge protector, similar to that found on car doors. look on ebay for it. it is very cheap to buy.

[@mberki]

How did you terminate cables from ISP to the keystone when its DSL? And what keystone did you use? Isnt DSL only RJ11? Never saw keystone for DSL. Did you use RJ45 to RJ11 cable?

[@PoseidwnTech]

I used the same keystones. For DSL you only need wires 4 and 5 (Blue/White-Blue). For the connection i used telephone cable (4-wires) but i terminated the end that goes to keystone with RJ45 connector instead of RJ11 connector.

The back panel you hammerd out where you tread all the cabels true you forgot that there was sharp edges the Cable can be ruin on if it is cables are moved often even so you should put something there you can even cut your hand or fingers there,,,

wonder if i have missed the server rack part. What is the dimensions (length width height) of the rack, does it need wheels or fans? are there screws at the back of rack to help carry the weight of 24-port switch? or the 4 front screws are strong enough?

[@PoseidwnTech]

The dimensions of the rack are : 758x600x600 mm (15U), I didn't order wheels or fans for this rack. The rack is inside a house so I wanted to avoid noise. There aren't any Racks at the back of the Rack. The 4 Front screws are strong enough!

I wanted all the main network equipments(patch panel, switch, router and modem) to be inside the Rack in order to have a neat installation. I have installed 1 Access Point in every room so the WiFi Coverage was great even without the onboard access point of Dream Machine.

[@makzerty440]

nice work .... i have a question, why you didn't crimp cables with rj45 and plug it directly to the switch , why you used the minicom zac module to cables and patch panel zac mont and patch cables to the switch, waist of money and performance

[@PoseidwnTech]

It is recommended to use a Patch Panel for terminating utp cables for the purpose of neat and tidy cable management.

[@Deraco1]

Nice look and video however, putting the dream machine into a metal container like such, if the access point is set, will affect wireless greatly and might damage the radio chip inside due to RF reflections

[@PoseidwnTech]

Thank you for your comment! You are right about Dream Machine. In this installation Dream Machine's Access Point is not used.

I see you plugged the surge protector into the UPS. Is this generally a bad idea? I've been told that it may mess up the UPS... I ask because I have a surge protector that I like, and am considering a UPS but still want to use the surge protector I have.

[@PoseidwnTech]

I prefer the surge protector to be after the UPS in order to have the devices protected. So far everything seems to work fine!

[@H1pok0ndr1ak]

@@PoseidwnTech there is no specific reason why you can't use a surge protector extension socket AFTER the UPS. But there is a doubt that it would do any good as the UPS is already providing that safety factor, built in to it. So in effect doing it twice... and the chances of getting a "surge" or "brown-out" from a UPS is so small, as to be improbable.

Also, pickups occur in low-current wires, which in one way or another affects the operation of network equipment. Use an oscilloscope.
