Hands hurt....
This morning I rolled 170 feet of 100 pair cable off the big wooden reel onto the little spinner. Was going to do a 50 pair as well, but the one reel we have only had 150 feet left on it. I need 71 pairs to bring the phone lines from TE2 to TE1. I like gross overkill, but I really have no need for more than 75 pairs, 100 pair is overkill. Loaded it into the van with my 250 foot reel of interduct.
Over at the new call center, in TE1, I set up the two short reels of quad cat-5, the spinner with the 100 pair, and the interduct. Pulled it through the 137 feet of conduit. Tomorrow, in TE2, I'll place each at or about it's final location, then the same downstairs. Will have about 75 feet of interduct left over, will use some to take the fiber in TE2 from the 8540 router in the line of relay racks over the cable racks to the Avaya media gateway across the aisle.
Oh, yeah. As of April 1st my racks are still free to dance around the room and the carpet is still on the pallets.
