Conference Room Port Activation

Conference Room Port Activation

Problem: Facility stated the jacks in the room were not working. They needed active jacks for dedicated laptop connection during meetings.

Solution: Test all drops. Repair frayed cabling and trace drops to correct ports at network rack. Confirm functionality.

Conference Room

Arrival to client conference to address line issues.

Cat 6e Drops

Customer stated two of three lines needed to be tested and activated. I also noticed possible line damage on ends and deteremined re-termination would add extra line integrity.

Lines Re-terminated

After successfully re-terminating cable drops, it was time to test the run. Updated labels on jacks to make future work easier for next tech.

Successful Tone and Patch

Cable drops were found at the correct ports on patch panel. The patch cables to the switch were damaged. I installed new cables from panel to switch. Time to confirm successful IP.

IP Ping Success

After connecting my laptop to the newly re-terminated jacks, we were able to get a connection and IP address.

Floor Plate Connection and Labeling

Jacks were added to the floor plate and labeled. The labels matched the respective locations at the rack.

Floor Plate Mounted to Floor

Floor plate was screwed mounted to the initial location under the conference room table. I made sure the connections were secure and strong.

Final Clean Look
