Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Hey folks, sorry for the unannounced outages today.
I finally have all the wiring upstairs complete. 4 bedrooms. 1 existing coax drop in each room. 2 new Cat5e ethernet cables in each room. Purchased a bunch of 3-keystone jacks. Wires labeled. Called friend and he showed me how to wire the keystones, and then create the terminations at the other end. 568-A wiring chosen and in-use. All jacks are now live and tested upstairs. My office (in the living room downstairs) has wires, the jacks are done, but they're neither tested nor live....yet. *le sigh* Netgear ProSafe JGS524 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch purchased and installed in a temporary home...Until I can get an extension cord to run power to the switch when it moves to its permanent home in the closet. 4 more wires to run (from the closet, through the attic, down the laundry chute, through the drop-ceiling in the basement, to their termini.) Damn, this is one helluva job. But the end is in sight! Thanks for understanding.

New Neat. Come do our place when you're done. ;-)
New Would love to but my prices probably aren't reasonable. ;-)
I've learned a lot. I haven't enjoyed all of it. Whoever decided that UTP wires should be so small, and with these meaty hands I've got, it's decidedly less than fun creating the normal network ends that we're all used to. Definitely not something I could do every day.

(That said, if you're serious, it's something that I've been considering adding to the Mavelous Web Design repertoire. Any way to make a buck when you're in business, right AAX?)

New Have you ever watched me make cables?
I think you have.

I've done so many of them, I could almost do them blindfolded.
