There is a tech driving around town asking himself "where did I leave that roll of cable..?"

A good friend once told me, "chaos breeds opportunity". Lost's of opportunities there... good luck.

LinkRunner?

Blinking a port works on low density switches, or when you don't have many devices connected. If you have three cascaded 48 port switches in a rack that are all fully patched with numerous active ports, blinking a port is dang near impossible to locate. the LinkRunner works well, and my guys...

There were a few automation devises that I've seen over the years that use the flat "telephone" wire for comms and power connectivity. Often the serial data speed would be 9600 baud or lower, and the power consumption rather low. A typical flat wire would have 28 AWG stranded wire. As such, you...

I would start with the FCC and copy the AG. Its a fraud and identity theft issue, but since it deal with telephony, its likely in the realm of FCC enforcement.

Is there a space between the -t and the hostname? Hard to tell in the post.

The cabling company is doing the wrong thing. A splice is an emergency fix and will "work" initially, but is not a long term solution. It will cause numerous problems down the line. It is also likely, depending upon how they plan to splice the cabling, that it wont even pass...

To be sure, punch it down as indicated and wire map it with a tester. Take pics of how its punched down and the results of the tester as evidence that it's wrong, then fight tike H*%@! to get them replaced.

It should not be an issue. As long as the launch and tail-end test cables are of the proper design for the system being tested (i.e. Single Mode, Multi-Mode), and the OTDR is calibrated with the cables to be used for the test, you should not see any issues.

#1, cycle power to the camera and reconnect the BNC. #2, recycle power to the monitor #3, if not a factory cable, re-terminate the BNC at the camera with a new connector You mentioned that you had 4 cameras. Are they going to a single monitor? If so, are you going through a switcher, or...

Your installers do not know the difference between communications cabling and control cabling. The 22 AWG cable may be too small for the controls signal (voltage drop, current rating…), but it’s much better for the communications signal. Google cable capacitance and line speed. Cat-6 works...

One has to assume some things with the limited info provided. I assume this is to provide connectivity the additional location only? Not trying to link back individual devices/industrial controllers/ etc. over the fiber link? If going from one switch at the head end to a new switch at the...

Some tools you can skimp on more than others. A fiber cleaver is not one of them. The better the cleaver the better the connection and overall fiber system quality/reliability. You will regret purchasing a cheap cleaver.
