Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
Speaking of multi-tool - these are awesome http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XU43IC/ref=ox_ya_oh_product If I forget something from the toolbag, this is great. It is also a lot lighter than the traditional old Leathermen, that were so heavy you started to lean to one side. This is just like a slightly large pocketknife. Highly recommended.

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
I just use an old chain saw file. Lots of those around here. About a foot long, pointed on one end. Going through a wall, I drill the hole about the same size as the cat5, jam the pointed end of the file in the end of the cat5, then push through the hole. Works great! I did have to learn to keep a few extra files in the truck though. I seem to have a difficult time keeping track of them. John Marlon K. Schafer wrote: > At a welding shop.

Not on a windy day! I do push it up 26' unguyed regularly. 34 foot is a little harrier. They have a drive on mount that makes it nice as a socket to hold the pole. It's fiberglass so you can't get electrocuted if you get stupid. It pushes up real easily, a lot better than that rat shack steel one. That is a Rohn, right?

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
Yeah. I just talked to Nusrat about that last week. I think I've had ONE box that didn't come in all broken up. I save all of the old pieces so I can fix them. I do NOT keep the cable in the box either. It's a PITA but the cable is so nice otherwise. My next project will be to build a cable rack for it. A lot of electricians use them. Just a "tool" kit with a handle on top and a removable pipe that you can slide the spool on. He did tell me that he would talk to his manufacturer about making spoolless boxes. I asked for a mechanism like the Carlson Rabbit Pull cable boxes. I love those. Less junk to throw away, lighter, smaller boxes. And very rarely a problem with how the cable spools out. laters, marlon - Original Message - From: "Jayson Baker" To: "WISPA General List" Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have > Marlon, > > We used to use the Shireen cable, but almost every single box we got (even > we ordering 10+ at a time) had busted up plastic reels inside. > A busted reel means you have a $150 boat anchor.

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
The cable I linked to is outdoor rated/UV rated... not gel filled... I always thought that was a little extreme for non-burial applications. We had a lot of luck with that almond/beige color of that cable. Blends with most of the paint and roofs around here really well. We used to use white cable... man does that stick out on a roof!

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
At a welding shop. I took a hunk of cat5 cable in and found a welding rod that JUST fit inside it. (pull the outer insulation out .5" or so) I had to grind a point on both ends and also "rough" up the wire so that it would "stick" inside the cable better. Took a few tries to get right but now that I have it nailed down it's soo cool. I don't have to drill a bigger hole. I don't have to fight with the drill flutes to find the hole in the end of the drill bit. It doesn't take two people (one to pull the other to feed the wire) etc. I've also got an 18" one that works great in trailer house floors. Drill the hole in the floor, poke the rod/wire through the insulation below, go down, find the rod, wiggle it a bit to enlarge the hole, pull the cat 5 down and off you go. laters, marlon - Original Message - From: "Mark McElvy" To: "WISPA General List" Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 7:19 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have > Where do you get or call those 1ft long wires? > > Mark McElvy > > > > -Original Message- > From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On > Behalf Of Marlon K.

Marlon, We used to use the Shireen cable, but almost every single box we got (even we ordering 10+ at a time) had busted up plastic reels inside. A busted reel means you have a $150 boat anchor.

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
Now that's funny. I've run into this stuff when others have used it. I HATE the stuff. In poor light (or LED head lamp etc.) I can't tell the light colors apart. For cable I've been using Shireen. http://www.shireeninc.com/osc/product_info.php?products_id=97 He's out of my favorite right now. I guess people didn't like it but I sure do. Nusrat said he'd try to get some more of it in stock. It's a gel filled cat5 with an EXTRA shield around it. So there are TWO layers of outer jacket. And the "gel" is dry It doesn't make a mess of your hands and/or tools. Once the gel gets wet it swells up and seals the area, forcing the water out. We have had NO problems of any kind when using this cable. I've got some of the foil shielded cable as well. We're now using it on nearly all of our tower sites. So far so good. I used the indoor white cat 5 for a long time. People would much rather have white cable run around the house than any other color. It's also in a nice box, easy to work with etc. But something changed a couple of years ago. Even out here, where it so seldom rains, we started getting water in the cables. It would find a hole somewhere, run down into the poe and the corrosion destroys the poe boxes. No more indoor cables out here. It's a little bit cheaper, but not enough so that it's worth the added cost of re-cabling houses. marlon - Original Message - From: "3-dB Networks" To: "'WISPA General List'" Sent: Sunday, October 18, 2009 5:03 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have >I strongly recommend this cable because I think it helps a lot telling if > you got the right color wire in the right hole.

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
I gotta agree. One other nice thing with the EZRJ45 system is because the wires stick out the end of the plug as far as you want. You can verify the order, or pull them out and push them back in. THEN, you can grab the excess and pull until the jacket is as far up the plug as possible, THEN crimp. I can't tell you how many crimps I've come across where the technician didn't get the jacket crimped and a mm of strands shows before the plug. They also work with either stranded or solid wire so you don't have to have both or KNOW the difference between pointed or spade crimp points. I put the inventor of this crimp system in the same league as the geek who came up with sticky notes. Mike At 07:27 PM 10/18/2009, you wrote: >I don't care how much they cost.

I agree. At 50 cents, the aggravation saved is worth it. Anything to lessen the B.S. of life has value, in my opinion.

Re: [WISPA] Gotta Have
But you're missing the point. Yeah, Its definately not worth it, for those that can use the standard CAT5s effectively. But your math assumes that they can, and not considering the other costs. The ROI is NOT on the time saved comparing successful installs, comparing both types. The ROI is on time saved comparing costs of failed connector installs. What does it cost you if you crimp an end, and get a flaky crimp, and the link not work? How long does it take to figure out which side of the cable had the bad crimp? A 25 cent RJ-45 becomes 50 cents, if you ahve to cut one off and replace it. I can give an example of recently where I had to send a guy back into the city (half day's labor) to fix a packet loss problem caused by defective CAT5 plug terminations. But most of the lost time was in the office troubleshooting the defective packloss link trying to find what was wrong. I can sympathise with eye sight degrating, in my older age :-( . The error rate of successful CAT5 terminations go up, if eye sight is going down. The question to ask is are the installers having to high a failure rate for their first crimpts? If they are, then it may be a good investment. As well, I look at my time as worth $100/hr, and I'd gladly spend the extra $100 for connectors if it meant I was more likely to have sucessful crimpts the first time. I compare... Risking paying 25 cent extra verus risk spending extra $100 in time figuring out where I made the Crimp mistake. For the record, I do not use EZ-Rj45 plugs. But I understand the value of Using the best RJ-45Plugs, and the ROI is there. I personally like to use the the RJ45 Plugs sold by Shireen. Ever since we started using them, terminations have been so much easier and successful. I like the Shireen plugs because they have just the right wire hole diameters for the wire to slide in easy, and I can be certain that they'll slide into the right slots as I tried to align them to. (Its becoming harder for me to tell the wire color once its inside the Jack, due to eyes). And I can be certain they'll crimp securely. I also got tired of the two peice CAT5 jacks, because I always kept loosing the second peices, and ended up having to throw away 20% of them that would be incomplete set.
