We went on-site and determined this was basically two network cabling projects. The easier project was the Cat 6 cabling that would be running to the IDF cabinet at one end of the building. This IDF was connected back to the main data room with OM3 multimode fiber optic cabling. The more difficult part of the project was the cabling that ran to the main data room. There was an existing data rack that we had to work around and ultimately help the customer move out of the data room after moving all of his network gear into the new rack. We completely built out the new data rack with all of the customer's new and existing hardware.
One of the challenges of this project was our lead tech getting vertigo from a previous ear infection that caused him to be out of work for over a month. We really missed him on this project and it caused us to ask for an additional week to complete the project. Our customers where very gracious and kind to our timeline and we completed the project on our second target date.
On this project we installed over 150 Cat 6 cables, a 10G 6 strand Multimode fiber optic cable, one data rack and one network cablinet.
We installed a wifi solution in Fort Worth, TX for a Locus Robotics project. This project required custom painted backboards for the wifi Ap's, Cat6 dual wire runs to each wifi access point, fiber optic cabling between two separate IDF cabinets, UPS installation and mounting customer provided switches. In layman's terms, we installed a turn-key wifi solution that Locus Robotics will us to run their wifi-enabled robots. We had to pull fiber cabling as well as Cat6 cabling in this Fort Worth-based project.
We had the pleasure of getting to help Avis get their network back up and running at the airport. We suspected it was a fiber optic issue. With some basic troubleshooting, we discovered that someone had hit the boot of the fiber connector breaking the fiber inside the boot. Once we replaced the fiber connector there network came back up.
