-- more or less. Had one last connection requested -- Ethernet to the 1st floor storeroom where they want to put a Wi Fi Access Point. We have a small in the wall steel J-box that barely holds a half blue board with conduits to various places on the first floor. It is also on the opposite side of the wall they want the Access Point. The electrical contractor will be mounting a 4x4 plywood backboard with a two inch conduit run to the j-box. All I have to do is run another Cat-5 cable down from the 2.1 terminal room.
Yeah. Simple. I have a 2 inch conduit, 50 to 60 feet, with three 90 degree bends. With a 100-pair Cat-3 telephone cable and four existing Cat-5 LAN cables. Tried snaking down -- binds on the last turn. Tried Snaking up -- binds on the last turn. Recheck the Cat-5 cables -- one is connected to the old LAN, which is gone. It's a pull string. The downstairs end went to the supply office, but it wouldn't pull out. So I cut it and pulled a pair of new Cat-5 cables down and left about 2 feet of slack in the downstairs J-box, terminated the upstairs end on the Cat-5 patch panel. Nothing left for me to do until the electricians are done building the "phone" bar and mounting the board for the Wi Fi.
So it's back to Birch where I will be needing to run cat-5 cables for about 32 positions.
