Houston DC Part 2

Last week was an endurance run. It was days and days of persistent work. My ISP was somewhat delayed in getting my circuit up so I had a handful of hours to get everything complete…I do my best work under pressure 😉

I believe you guys remember seeing my preterm cable…here’s my patented spool rest in action:

Here’s me around midnight…hehe:

I hate terminating patch panels, but when you have to have it done by morning, you do it anyway. I don’t want to hear any of you complain about how ugly it is. This was about 11 at night:



Here’s Stephen looking tough:

Here’s a better shot of him…hehehehehe

Here’s Jacob and Matt knocking out the preterm copper and fiber into one of the zone boxes:

Here’s one of the loaded zone boxes. Copper on top and fiber on bottom:

Here’s the copper preterm trunks before we plugged them into the panels:

Here’s my Mikrotik hotspot. The easiest place to mount it was to ziptie it to the back of the cabinet:

Here’s one of my Unifi APs mounted on top of the cabinet…looks pretty clean:

Here’s a quick speed test I did off of a 100Mb port:

Here’s my favorite picture…it can’t be all work 😛

Once this baby has a bow on it, I’ll snap a few more shots.

    Apologies, I believe I’ve violated your patent on that spool rest on more than one occasion.

    @bobby
    I’ve got a creative common license on it…use away 😉
