Cable Is Run
Last week, I got a call from our head contractor. Todd was ready for our color selections for our new office, and it was time for me to take a few employees and cable the place with CAT-5 network cabling.I stopped by our local Electrical Supply company (Southwestern Electic Supply), and acquired some electric boxes and 1000 feet of CAT-5 cabling. A few of our employees met up with me at the new location, and we performed a quick walk through of the place with Todd. Walls were up where they were supposed to be.
In fact, they were too far along on the walls. They had insulated all of the walls, and had already hung up the sheet rock, but had not taped any of it yet.
I had to go pick up a screw-gun to take down the sheet rock (much easier than fishing the cabling through the walls), and left a few dedicated employees crawling around and throwing cabling. When I returned, we were able to measure out the holes to cut, slice up the sheet rock, and then re-hang the sheet rock. With the added headache of the sheet rock, our 45 minute job took almost 5 hours, roughly 45 minutes per network drop.
However, our new location now has CAT-5 run to every room!
