TIP:
When purchasing cable, always plan your purchases so that you
will have ample amounts each of the cable types that you require.
Handle both cable types with care, and use the appropriate cable
for the job that you are doing! |
|
TIP:
Use the cable standards! You'll be happy you did! Seriously |
|
TIP:
Do
it right the first time, from design to build. Don't do anything
"just for now"... it will likely become permanent.
It may take a bit more time and energy at the outset to do
it right, but it's WORTH it down the road! |
|
TIP:
Choose a location for your wiring/network aggregation closet
that reflects the importance of, and investment in the materials
and equipment required to run your network. Protecting the information,
not to mention the equipment investment, is worth spending a
bit of time and money. This alone could increase the lifespan
of your network. |
|
TIP:
When choosing a tester, first determine your needs and capabilities.
If you are not going to be creating a lot of patch and crossover
cables yourself, a simplified tester may work just fine for
you. Testing equipment can be expensive, so ensure that any
purchased is appropriate to your needs! |
|
TIP:
Don't have a heat gun and shrink wrap for labelling your network?
Use a label maker and clear tape. |
|
TIP:
Don't have cable bridle trays? Use wiring "pigtails"
, or even the rubber coated hooks like those used for hanging
bicycles. |
