I know that this is quite old, but just a few points that I would like to give from one commercial network installation guy to another. 1) Please, for the love of god, don't use electrical tape anywhere in/on network cabling! After a few years it turns into black goo tar. If it's permanent connection, just use a CAT5e/6 110 splice connection. Its cleaner and less prone to failure over the long term, also the cables can be anchored on both sides. 2) If you run cabling through air vents, please use (CMP) plenum rated cable, not CMR based cable. I am sure that 99.999% of the time it will be just fine, but if for some reason there would be a fire CMR will burn toxic smoke, while CMR is more fire resistant than plain CM cable, CMP rated (plenum) will self extinguish and not put toxic smoke everywhere. NEC requires CMP if run in air plemum places like return air vents. 3) For the sheet rock guys, put covers (sandwich ziplock bag) over the cable ends and shove them in the boxes. This will help keep the huge amounts of dust and sheet rock much out of the jacks/keystones. Other than those few nit-picks good job sir! 👍🤠
I did a similar install for my brother. I added a 1U UPS into his network rack that keeps everything running for 1 hour if there are power outages.
As someone who has been doing these types of installs for 20+ years, I can say I have only had an issue with a ziptie causing cable issues once. As long as you keep it loose enough to spin and support the weight with something else (as you did with the J hooks), you'd have to be pretty creative in order to run into a problem, so I'm not sure where people are coming from always saying zipties cause cables to break.
Great video! love seeing these keep up the good work
I did this for my job. I ran network and RG6 lines. I also installed hometheater equipment like tvs, amps, and speakers in new build homes.
Nice clean installation. I would have used Velcro instead of cable ties and terminated the ends after the drywall was put up. Other than that, you work is very neat. Great job!
This was a very good video. First time I've watched your videos. I love watching this kind of content, and you made it enjoyable. Super nice "basement" tho really haha
Nice clean job. Good to see young men doing a good job, good work ethic I hope. and a side note. The only reason I would live up north is basements. that is all
Nice humidor!
If you're drilling joists, get the Milwaukee or similar cordless hole hawg. Much lower profile for narrow spaces. Home store plumbing dept has plastic J hooks for plumbing up to like 3-4" pvc pipe, size is not a problem
phenomenal video.... What I wanna know is what Mr. Evans does for a living, LOL... throwing around ALOT of money! haha
Great job on the wiring. I get so jealous of seeing videos like this. My home was purchased after the wallboards all went on and painted.. there were only three coax cables, ran in the entire house! And couple phone lines, but with only one pair of wires each. Horrible! One thing I’ve noticed in your setup though, that Network rack is closer to that circuit box then I feel comfortable with for interference.
Nice installation, I have seen people with much more experience do a far worst job, one system I worked on a while back I had to take an angle grinder to the rack cabinet to untwist the mess that the had occurred. It's always easy to get a tidy setup if work from scratch.
Safety goggles or glasses when drilling above your shoulders. Been there done that.
14:10 Cable Trays (Off-shelf or DIY) are very useful for those high density cable runs. Commercial users use that approach. In difficult routing areas (between floors or basement-attic) I like to install conduit OR orange tubing/low-voltage pathway.
this made me laugh! thanks for making my morning better
Great job bro
Clean, quick and nice installation.
Would love for you to comment on getting the "PPPoE settings" for the AT&T connection. Everything I've seen is that the AT&T modem has to stay for their Fiber service
