I work in an old Museum here in the District. My runs are very long, one is over 700 feet and gives me a problem every now and then. Is it worthwhile to switch out our CAT4&5 and go to CAT6a (there is something above 6a?) All our servers are gig but most of the workstations are not. All my switches (we have way too many) are gig, but...

I got some stuff from an Office of the Attorney General's office that was moving to new space. The System Admin was sent an email followed by a printed signed memo telling him he was to remove EVERYTHING the state had paid to be installed in the space. When asked about damage to the walls due to removal of copper wire he was told in writing they did not care just get it out. It took him and two others two days to pull all the copper wire out move it to the new space and then he was told to pitch it in the dumpster. He told me the space was a mess holes in the walls from removal of jacks some broken roof tiles. The end result was he had a lot of networking stuff to get rid of and copper wire to dump in a dumpster. I got all but the copper wire.

That's half a lab! Sm:)e. Sorry, I couldn't resist. It seems like I wire a new lab, or re-wire an old one, every year here. It's not uncommon for us to pull 16 lines at a time, and do that 2 or three times. Oh, and why did you pull out the Cat-5? Did you need gigabit to each desktop? I hope you pulled Cat6A or better for the future. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
