[Hidden-tech] know anyone who can pull ethernet 1 floor to home ofc& test the thruput?

Thanks Kimo for confirming and elaborating. 
Yes, David he's right, it's only slightly complicated. It's made less so
because the tester has the color map printed right on it so it's almost
impossible to get it wrong. If you do, you clip it off and try again. 
 
.....Offer still stands! Mi tester y crimper es tu tester y crimper.  : )

Hi David, 

Not knowing how handy your are with tools and DIY stuff, this sounds like a
mighty generous offer from Mark. If you've only got one workstation to
wire-up, no walls or boxes/wall plates to install as Mark noted, and you
have access to the crimping tool, it would be a pretty simple thing to do as
a DIY project. 

The only slightly complicated thing is matching up the correct sequence of
the 8 color coded strands of wires in the cat-5 cable. Not exactly brain
surgery, but it must be in the right order -- and Mark has a tester. You
just strip the wire in the crimping tool and line them up in the proper
order in the connectors and then crimp. And it sounds like Mark will guide
you through it. 

Other than that, making the cable runs look nice in a home environment is
your other concern. You can use a cable stapler or some other cable holders
(Radio Shack) that nail in, to keep the cables in place. You'll need a fair
amount of those. Staples are a little less obtrusive.

Good luck,

Kimo

The hard part is getting your partner to agree to the hole. : ) ....The rest
is a just short run of Cat 5 between floors, sounds like no walls involved
so no boxes and wall plates in the mix, just a hole in the ceiling and floor
above. You don't need an electrician for that David.  I've got a linkmaster
cable tester, and the RJ45 cable end crimper. You want to borrow them?  I
can even cut you the exact length of wire from my 1000 ft spool. I've made
100's of custom cables, it's really easy after the first 1 or 2. Let me know
and you can stop by for a lesson and pick up the toys........I mean tools!

Need a little advice  On the 2nd floor of our home, Ive got a TM402P
Touchtone telephony & data modem from Comcast, and a Data-Link 524 router
modem.  I need to shift my home office to a better work space in the house.
To do this, I need to run an Ethernet cable directly through a hole drilled
between the floors (not threaded through the ancient plaster wall) from the
2nd floor to the 3rd floor, do the end clips, and then test the results for
good throughput.  I need hardwire linkage for best throughput, and cant
move the modem and router to the 3rd floor because that would kill wireless
to the 1st floor (Ive been advised by my 29-year partner in life that its
a family decision that there shall be no holes drilled down into the 1st
floor for network cables).  Comcast said that a licensed electrician should
do all the Ethernet work.  Is that information correct, and does anybody
have suggestions for who might do that work in the college-streets area of
Holyoke?

 

Thanks very much,

 

       David
