Can a punchdown block be used on a switch, or does it just attach directly to a server? I'm missing a lot of context from the book I'm reading lol.

The guy is more like Kramer :) Thanks for watching!

Just quick on the mode button and it gives it to you. :)

We had to chuckle on the interface remark....yes, very basic. One older tech broke the screen.....kept thinking it was a touchscreen. Your comments are on point......we can supply each of our lead techs with these units. $500 for a unit to run reports and have PDF cabling reports.......we can rent or issue the $12000 Fluke for larger jobs or ones that require. We have to be honest....new construction calls for Fluke reports as most just follow template requirements. We send them the RWC.....and 90% of the time it's fine with the GC or IT Directors we work with.

Hmmmm....it meant something to the install tech....unsure of the mystery of "500". :)

@@BridgeCable it’s like 2 numbers in the 7K area. Subtracted and it came out to be 500

Bridle WITH the plastic support is SOOOOOOO much better indeed. In time without the protected ring the weight of many cables might hurt the cabling over time. We have seen it happen in the field and tend to avoid them in our company. Thanks for the comments! Love it!

Owner has a sense of humor.....some good....some bad :) Work in progress!

Thanks for watching and hope this saves time/labor!

I would have to guess depends on the market. Construction overall there is a shortage they say......every 7 retired work there is 1 new hire for them. In any field....if you shine or have a true skilled....skies the limit. That is what happened with Paul the owner of BridgeCable.com - Learned the business and the rest is history! :)

Slight untwist when putting into the panel.........the least is better.

@@BridgeCable, thanks, I will re-punch down my cables tomorrow. It’s just 8 of them and won’t take too long.

Typically we do not like to put in the wall as down the road more might be added or for troubleshooting you need to re-run a damaged cable. Depends on the site, in NJ we did just run down the wall. Coming down the wall at the end location (MDF/Server) we tend to use a Conduit with bushings, Ladder Tray or D-Rings down the wall.

@BridgeCable We do the same. Was really just wandering. Because exposed cabling looks horrible lol. I'm by no means knocking your work. You guys went above and beyond with you tutorial video. I actually am going to share that with some of our Jr's. We do a lot of big warehouse projects. 200 plus drops Fiber uplinks. OTDR certifications Access Control, Digital Signage, We Know coming down an interior wall is easy as it gets though. Tell your team keep up the amazing work.

@@benfields7707 Thanks for watching and comments! Means the world to us! Keep Cabling!! Knock it out of the park!!

Still learning the tools but thankful for your products! @jonardtools

So good tips and you are correct. Some installs we do they do not even have a computer onsite so a cloud key works for them. With IT services you can "dial in" a better solution but this video just covers the above install. This video isn't wrong....just documents what we needed for this type of install for the cabling techs.

Typically you can buy the mounts....but clients tend to forget these. So.....we can make a rig depending on the ceiling. I-Beam clamps or threaded rods depending on heights/layout.

Harris does last forever......I believe bought out, the company.

We made a playlist on our channel which covers part 2 concepts.

You have a great plan for yourself! Skilled in both EC work and telecom......in time you will be sought after by companies....or even start your own shop! Bravo!

Toning out cables in the field typically in new construction only when the labels while pulling the cables got messed up. Toning out cabling on older sites when troubleshooting down/bad cabling.

As a small child playing with Gi Joes.....never thought I'd produce a video about a label maker but Love these! Standard for our techs....choose a brand that works for you!!

This was at a ladder factory over in Bensalem. I would suggest keeping the cabinets lower....down the road....helps with switch replacement!

Thanks for watching and we hope to give value to the next generation coming in!

Never tried the Belden......but we use the speed jackers ALOT these days. Not punching this much these days but important skill to have and always check the connections regardless of what you use!

BTW.....blades about 2-4 years.....depends on how much you use it. $20 good investment!

These guys seem to just do structured cabling and layer 1 work. If it’s not an old vid I’m guessing this is the hardware their customer provided.

@@bradylepage yeah - looks that way. They prob like vintage stuff - :)

LOL - Like @bradylepage says we are indeed the cable guys...... this video helps just the hardware. Gen 2 I believe on this install @@DimitriyLanis

Classic video.....crowd favorite and in the office as well :)

Thanks for watching!

Cool tool....helps with our fiber :)

Hats off to you for watching! We are attempting to make it better for the next ones! Thank you!

@@BridgeCable Enjoy the candidness sometimes. Reviewing as I reenter the industry, very good refresher!

@@raykamarivero Welcome back :)

Really a toss up. If a small site on the wall....great for expansion. However on the larger sites for length columns. A constant talking point is height......various smaller outfits want the rack all the way up in ceiling for space. What happens when you need access to it? Grrrr.....$900 per day for a lift unless one is onsite. Happens all the time :)

@@BridgeCable TY. I am deciding between more IDF's on exterior walls, or fewer on columns but will be lower and take up some pallet locations.

@@jacobshorr9587 It happens from time to time....send over some pics when done! paulw@bridgecable.com

Great points and correct! Support the cabling and you will be ACES!

Thanks for the comment and viewing!

What size ladders are regular vs taller?

Search your local network cabling companies and of course see if hiring. Ask local General Contractors as well.

Easy to punch on that style and in close quarters with flipping the panel....then when done just do the flippy action...and BLAM...you are in business!

THANK YOU for Viewing! Happy Cabling!!

THANKS! Seems a real crowd pleaser....tons of feedback and even clients watch this video. 1st day of working with us.....one of the videos we use for training :)

The net will go crazy but here is our views. Keystone all day. Why? Speed and form. Very easy to lace into the patch panel and then mark the cables. Take them out and prep, then we use a speed loader keystone jacker. Time is money but perfect punches. This is Paul the owner, I fought for years against the speed loaders or keystone jackers. Now I can take a novice and get them jacking ASAP. Of course a wee bit of training and oversight from a lead tech. Speed my friend....so much better. Okay, time for the people that want to talk about the old trusted way! Let's hear it :)

It varies but BEST ADVICE. Do your math and make a materials list. Major installs we charge for the boxes of cabling and 10% on the top. Smaller service ticket work by the foot. I won't review our pricing but seen places that charge $2 per RJ-45 head. After a few jobs...you should have a pricing guide of your own. Post it when ready! Thanks for viewing!

Shucks....making us blush. Getting better and better content as the years flow onward! Thanks for viewing!

Really simple.....maybe....just pull out and go again. However some punches will have little hooks on them to pull just the wrong wire. Mispunches happen, just pull out and re-do. You do not want to punch into the panel too many times....the teeth get loose and down the road cause errors. Once or twice....re-punch....not a big deal (from a 20+ yr tech's experience). I will mention this......some clients want to REUSE a older panel.......Good Lord....just spend the $40-$150 to start fresh. The time for the labor is more. Thanks for the question! Paul

Home Depot or Lowes usually carries something like in the video but search on Amazon, we brought about a dozen of them.

Thanks Dave! Hire us for some FLA jobs.....love the weather down there! :)

Which one?!?! LOL

Yikes.....had some value for us in training techs on Fiber. I think more about doing the test itself than the results. Sorry didn't find value! Paul

Like attaching it to the armor jacket?
