What’s yalls process of running 100 plus cables , I’ve been doing this a while so I have my systems of how to get it done, just wondering about you guys. Office setting ware etc, just wanting to see if I can learn from the eXpErTs
What are the best must have tools for low voltage work that saves you a lot of time and that you can’t live without?
Right now, I only have the basic tools, like a drill, impact, and screwdrivers, and I’m looking to expand my tool collection
I’m looking for everything from obvious essentials to random niche tools, such as longer punch down tool blades, cable combs, right angle drills, claw grabbers, and anything else that makes the job more smooth
I do residential, industrial, construction, commercial and all that fun stuff so I’m just looking for tools to make my life easier
For each tool pls explain what it does and how it helps you🙏🏽🙏🏽
Looking to rent a Fluke DSX and Optifiber in or around NJ for a few days to certify Cat6A and OTDR Singlemode fibers.
Where are you guys renting from?
Dont do enough certifications a year to justify purchasing.
I have bought this punch down tool only to find that it will not fit my standard uk krone type patch panels? I know someone that has similar style and he has a blade for the krone patch panels.
Me on the other hand am unable to find any replacement blade at all?
Any AliExpress links?
I'm not quite sure what I should be searching for, but I wanted to know if there were low voltage light switches that could avoid running 110 in-wall for the switch, but control the 110 boxes and lighting.
I'm sure my description is horrendous. Basically, avoid large multi-gang boxes but also avoid screens. Some sort of tactile switches or buttons that control regular lighting.
All my fiber splices look like this after heating enclosure. Is this normal or what do you think is happening
EDIT
I’m in the testing portion of this contract, some been failing fluke certifier with around 3.5db loss. Hooked up VFL to MDF side and looked for bleeding at trays. Noticed that ALL have a light bleeding like the red strand shown above. Have yall experienced this? Is this normal or is this messing with the failing? Thanks for the help guys.
