Please log in for more thread options You could conceivably run four cables to every point point, and just terminate the ones you really need. Then you have extra cable in case a wire is bad, or for expansion. Like others have said, you need a pro to do the terminating, at least of the network cable. Once you see how that is done, you could terminate the telephone lines yourself, as they are a lot more forgiving. If you can, I would use different color cable for the telephone jacks, and terminate with an rj-11 jack where the phone/modem or fax machine will go. How complicated is the wiring job? This will help determine what you can do yourself. Is everything all on one floor? Can you just run the cables above a suspended ceiling most of the way? See the pictures of my network in progress: http://rostie.net/phone_stuff/ (The only thing that's missing from the pictures that been done is the T1 is hooked up and the Xpedius box is connected. All the telephone stuff is moved, but we haven't hooked up the new phone system yet, so the phone stuff is just in a temporary state with a bunch of cross-connects between three 66 blocks.) I probably could have ran the cable myself across the ceiling, if I had the j-hooks. What they did first was lay out all the cable on the ground in bundles of a certain length. One bundle for each location. (One bundle for one wall, another bundle for the front counter, and a small bundle for a central location that just needed 4 cables.) Then they hung the individual bundles on j-hooks above the ceiling. The next day one guy came out and straightened all the cables out before he tied them loosely together. The next step is to drop the cables down conduits in the wall, and power poles to the counter and the other location. The final step is to tone each cable and terminate each end and probably label the outlet and the termination point at the patch pannel. Randy R | ||||||||||||||||||||||
