mmmmmmmm new server is getting installed today
so exciting

so our electrician fucked up some more stuff
first problem was when we first got here
the wires were hooked up reversed
one end was 1-8
the other end was 8-1
no network communication
i was losing my mind
so thats all fixed now
but new problem...
we're getting a 1 gig 24 port switch
cat 6 wire with cat 5 ends
will not push 1 gig speeds
and the terminations are messy, pairs untwisted, too much wire showing etc

IT guys are just baffled how this guy could mess it up this bad
 
doesnt matter. if i was there i would be looming over ANYONE touching or near my equipment. no room for error when you need 100% uptime.
 
electricians shouldn't be touching cat-x cable at all. there's like 1 mili volt running through it...
 
some electricians also have thier low-voltage license which would cover install of cat-x cables
