Re: Suggestions - cabling

[Steve Morgan <steve@xxxxxxx>]

Mark,

If you intend to run a network over CAT5 at 100MB/S, you should really
consider hiring a professional CAT5 cable tester (that measures
crosstalk, etc).
Otherwise, you stand a real chance of strange network problems.
Untwisting too
much cable at the connectors is the best way I've found to induce this
problem.

Good luck.
Steve

Hi All

Well...the time has come...no more talking...time for action!

Next week I will start pulling the CAT5 cable round my new house.  Keith
Doxey (aka Krazy Keith) is flying into Northern Ireland tomorrow night
and
staying with me all next week to help (a big thank you Keith!!!).

I have around a mile of CAT5 sitting in my garage ready to go into the
house
for everything from data, phones, IR, CCTV etc etc.

Now...I've read all the articles and even watched the programs on the
Discovery Channel.  What I want now is some last minute hints, tips and
various pearls of wisdom from anyone out there that has ever pulled
cable.
Anyone know of a hand tool we should have?  Any suggests for an simple
and
effective way of labling the cables?  How should we test it?  Anyone
know of
a Pizza place that delivers to my area :-)

Any input welcome before we start the scary stuff on Monday morning.

Thanks to all.

Mark
