First big network related project at my last job (Work Story)

Jan 31, 2022 9:43 PM

One of our stores expanded and the goal was to overhaul their network. First thing I did was put up large boards making sure they were in studs.

Second task was putting up the network cage. I did this by myself which was a difficult task but I was satisfied in the end and it was even level.

Filled it up later with power bar, patchbay and switch.

After wiring up the patchbay we put the cables in, the modem and the firewall.

Later that year the store got a fiber internet line in. This project alone took several months. Started in October and wasn't complete until May

Do you really think that'll persuade people not to put something on top?

It was more of a liability thing if it fell off the wall if someone put something there. Luckily the clearance was low in that area.

UPS ?

No that wasn't at UPS if that is your question. This was at a small local retail store.

Didn't see this for a while. A UPS is there for the fiber since the fiber also provided phone lines.
