You bet Jason. It was a lot of fun!

From a former worker as ISP, when you mentioned bends in cable. Our minimum bend radius for coax was 2" and with CAT cables, 1" is fine without worrying about breaking copper connectivity/continuity.

@Itechstorm

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the specific radius. Was it based on the particular brand of cable you used in the field?

@DiStUrBeDHuSk3r

6 жыл бұрын

Coax is pretty universal, regardless of shielding. CAT cables we used CAT5e. Honestly, going under 1" radius on CAT would be no issue really, as most equipment that comes with a CAT cable, it's bent completely onto itself. The reason we had a 1" bend in place was for longevity. As with any metal, if you bend it back and forth enough, and it'll break or crack. Staying at or above 1" keeps the integrity of the inner 8 strands of copper inside the CAT for longer as it doesn't strain the metal as much. It was just our business practice to mitigate repeat calls, especially on patch panels (as you referred to when you mentioned securing the cables with zipties or velcro).

@DiStUrBeDHuSk3r

6 жыл бұрын

And as for specific brand, I cannot remember the exact branding. Coax cable brands don't mean as much as shielding, we used tri-shield. CAT cable brands aren't the important part, it's the amount of twists in the pairs per inch, which is determined by rank of CAT. CAT 1,2, 3 etc. If you want a buying guide for either, just pay attention to the numbers at the end of the CAT. CAT5e supports up to 1Gb p/s. Cat 5 is 300 Mbps. A lot of what I saw in field was people subscribing to tiers higher than 300Mbps and saying they werent getting their speeds and were using a CAT5 cable. Simple little things like that, make a difference. And having a good shielded Coax paired with a tight system by your ISP goes a long way. With bad coax and/or connectors/splitters can allow off air frequencies on the line causing packet loss or intermittent connectivity. Suggestions for people thinking of doing this and having to run coax/CAT themselves, spend the extra money on CAT5e or even 6 (it allows room to grow your speeds as technology increases without having to redo it every couple of years). And buy at least tri-shielded coax if you need to extend a existing line or replace. It will save you in the long run.

This is awesome!!!! Great job

I am running a few patches internally, but it has not warranted the use of a full panel yet. Hope that helps?

Possibly the best video i have come across so far for home networking. I'm having my first house built and one of my requests to the builder was that I have a custom home network running CAT6.

+YoshiExcel Thanks Yoshi! It was my hope that I would inspire others to find a solution from watching this video. So I'm really glad it's helping you figure out what to do. The first thing I recommend is wiring with the highest grade cable you can afford. That alone is the best possible future-proofing you can do. At the time Cat5e was the latest when I did my house. Wish I had Cat6a or even Cat8.2 at this point in time. You can expect to pay a lot more the higher in spec you go. Looks like Cat8 is going to be spec'd for 40Gbps. Sounds crazy, I know, but data centers are already connecting up to 100Gb links. You will need connectors (RJ45 compatible with type of cable you get), pre-construction wall boxes to terminate your drops, keystone jacks (compatible with cable), face-plates, and a patch panel (compatible with cable type) where it all meets. So there are some things to think about. I ran a 1-2 drops per each room of the house, especially where you have a door or closet where you don't want to run cable across your floor when connecting to the wall drop. For example my master bedroom has two drops, living room has two drops, office and computer room have multiple drops. Make certain you run more than one drop to your entertainment center area of the living room or other rooms of the house. Everything is connected these days with IoT (Internet of Things). Hope that helps. Here is a link to the ethernet cable spec to help understand the differences: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_11801#CAT7 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair#Most_common_twisted-pair_cables There is a big jump in bandwidth going from Cat6 to Cat6a.

+iTechStorm Thank you much for the reply. I decided for my needs CAT 6 is will meet my needs and would be futureproof for at least a few more years. I will be having at least one drop per room, except for my study, kids rooms, and living room, I will have multiple. One thing i don't get is why patch panels are used. seems to me, that most do it because of the "cool" factor lol, but i think im satisfied with just running cables directly to the switch. Now on to the home theater prewiring...not looking forward to that.

@Itechstorm

+YoshiExcel the patch panel really just adds flexibility to your setup. Normally the runs coming from the various rooms of the house will terminate in one location and be the same length. There may be a piece of gear that is positioned in your rack that is too far from the point of termination. So there would need to be a way of extending your run from the wall to other gear, and this can be done by patching. Just one example, but yes what you said would work. For your media wiring consider a few different positions for the subs, especially if doing an x.2 setup where you have more than one sub. Then run coax (rg6) from the tv/stereo area to the sub location #1 and #2. You may have already done this. After some basic testing, you would be amazed at how the placement of your sub can have a dramatic impact on the low end of the spectrum. Worked great in my case. Good luck, and congratulations on the new house!

Do you have to worry about heat buildup? I want to do the same but my utility closet also has a sloppy sink. That wouldn't be an issue I believe, right?

@Itechstorm

+AMP Tech Heat buildup is not an issue for me and I did take it into consideration. I actually replaced my incandescent light with a CFL to reduce heat from the closet light when I used it and it actually helped. Little things can make a big difference. I leave my closet door cracked so the room air conditioning reaches the closet. Alternatively you could run a small vent to the closet. This would be the professional approach. Make sure is lever is installed on the vent so when you cut over to central heat you can disable the vent for obvious reasons. One last point, consider the BTUs output by the equipment mounted in the rack and that will give you a figure to work with. 1 Watt = 3.412142 BTU/hr. Try using a Kill-a-Watt meter to measure total consumed watts, then calculate your BTU/hr. That will give you an idea. Consider the human body produces 330 BTU/hr.

Can you tell me where you purchased the consolidated media cable bundle?

Sometimes I used other prefixes like LR for LivingRoom, or GR for Garage. You should be able to see the labels on the patch panel correspond to this description. I hope this helped!

Long story short I ordered a spool of 500' bulk media cable (as seen in video) and decided to use the entire spool since I had no other use for it. The drops add up pretty quick. Each run has two Cat5e/RG6 cables, so when you make multiple runs to the same room you have 4 Cat5e drops before you know it. Reason for doing that is having multiple face plates around the room. The living room has a dedicated drop behind the TV/Stereo and another by the furniture where people sit. Each room has at least one drop, and some have two. My thinking was to over do it rather than under do it.

Is your multi-layer switch the only thing you command-line interface with? Is your firewall custom-configured with an ACL for SSH access to your console server? And is it only allowed from a certain IP? I mainly ask this because I was going to do a console server with a Raspberry Pi but I'd have to port forward with my Router and that seemed rather...risky.

There is always a certain level of risk one must accept, even with unlimited funding.

@Itechstorm

8 жыл бұрын

+Ify Belonwu I would be happy to explain. The DS3 is for remote console access to my other managed devices, like the Cisco 3550 or the APC PDU. It connects to serial console ports and serves the connection remotely (telnet/ssh). For example, if I wanted to upgrade to a different IOS version on the Cisco I would need to connect to the console port with a laptop using a serial connection. In my case the console server is already connected to the serial port on the Cisco, so all I have to do is remote into my DS3 (ssh to IP) and select the menu option for my Cisco 3550 and the DS3 presents me with a remote session. It is similar to RDP in a sense. This can be a huge advantage. In another scenario you might have a communication closet hundreds of miles away, and you accidentally misconfigure a route/IP. This might have the effect of locking you out of the device with no way to remote back in. Your only other option would be to drive there and connect a laptop to the console port and fix your mistake. Alternately you could remote into your console server, if you had one, and connect to your device to make the repair.
