Re: [Mesh] [sudo-discuss] Cat6 Donation, should I take it? (Punch Down Tool Needed) - mesh

12 Aug 2014

SUPER-THANKS to 'Kare Raisu' for bringing the punch down tool and
helping with the first patch panel!

We got the first patch panel completed, and Kare agreed to continue
working on the second one on Wednesday.
The first part took way longer than I expected. Well, it was our first
one ever. We learned lots of little tricks on how  to proceed best.
At first it seems like just plug it in and punch it.

There were little unknowns that we didn't know that we now know. :)

         Well, it seems that we don't have a Punch Down tool
         (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punch_down_tool) to finish the job.
         I even went home and spent about 20 minutes looking for it, no
         luck. Definitely MIA.

         Anyway, I have cut the 24 pieces and I am in the process to
         prepare the ends. After that is when the Punch Down tool is
         needed.
         We need that tool.

         Please let us know if we may use yours.

         Thx!

Its tiresome at times. :)

 Hello All,

 The two boxes of donated cable are  a bit quite confusing,          at least for
me. :)
  I am not sure if they are really CAT6 or simply
CAT5e;          regardless than it claims to be a "GigaSPEED" cable.
  I attached an image of their label so you can see
what I am          mean.

 Anyhow... I am taking the task of setting up the two donated          CAT5e patch
panels between the Switch Rack to Server Rack.
         Hopefully it will be done this evening.

 And just you know, it won't hurt my feelings if it is          decided that
this cable sucks. We can always remove it, and
         install something that we really know what it is.

 Thx!
