Phase 9: Bits arrived

[DR]

So Friday all the bits which I needed turned up - Patch Panel, Loads of Cables, Cabinet, and a PDU (Power Distribution Unit)

I spent some time on Friday night wiring things up - and had to go out, so I left it - this evening I have finished it off - all ports wired, cables are pulled back, cabinet in, Media Centre sorted, 360 done.

I have taken some shots which I will upload later - its a shame that the shelf is not about 2 inches longer - everything fits but by god it is snug.

I have used about 30 zip ties tonight sorting cables, and have had enough of wiring sockets.

I have to do 2 in the loft, 4 more in the Cellar, and 2 in the bedroom, and 1 more under the stairs and I am done I haven't got any sockets left however so it will have to wait.

Am I pleased? Well yes, it looks good.

What else do I need to do?

I need to finish decorating the spare room which has the wardrobe this resides in, I also need to find a telephone cable which is male to male - so I can move my ADSL box upstairs and also install my Fax machine in my office (can't do it without this cable!)

Time for sleep now Tommorow I will run the last cable down the side of the house, and I will get these damn sockets picked up and installed.

Some of the first cables going in - and making it work Testing things!


I have now done too many cables in to the back of this thing - time to wire up the front!


Zip tie up the others (you may notice there is 2 different combinations - 1 group has all the upstairs wires the other has all the wires
