no of sourse not. just reread rory's post.somehow missed the part of covering the balun for cosmetics. my bad. need to brush up on my reading comprehension evidently.

sounds like you'll probably be ok with the RG59. just remember that AC is noisy stuff and if you do see any degradation in quality, at least you'll know where to look first. twisted pairs like cat5 etc. seem to be the most easily effected but you can also get quite a bit on coax depending on a number of factors, such as shielding on the power cables as well as proximity, voltage running on the AC side, as well as your coax quality. just to be safe quad shield should be run anywhere near AC. just not sure if it's available as siamese. rory should know, he seems to be the resident guru here.

the most versatile labeler I've come across is the P-touch by Brother. you can not only label cables but also anything else you want. if you get the white back ground on the ribbon you can simply fold it and wrap it around the wire at the fold, or use wire tags laced to the wire with the p-touch label stuck to the wire tag. very neat and proffessional looking. hope this helps. http://www.officedirectinc.com (obviously, you want the handheld unit ) just to show the printer. you should be able to find it in any office supply store.

ever thought about heat shrink tubing? we used alot of it in telecom, especially in the head-in rooms. very slick looking and easy to do. and if color is an issue it is available in different colors as well. just a thought.

awesome! sounds like the term strips were the way to go anyway, as if you wanted puchdowns you may have been limited to 66-blocks, which would have been overkill. glad it worked out for ya though.

looks like maybe another suggestion for cameras not another site for the same. but maybe I'm wrong... it's happened before.

yeah. we use a similar tool for splicing 25 pair into 300 pair in the field. but like rory said it's a 24 AWG wire. you'd have t be using some very tiny power cable.

sounds like it will work fine like that. judging by the date of this post, chances are you've already finished. did it work ok? sorry about the late response, I only just came across you guys, as I am new to this side, but I do have some network exp. anyways, just wondering if it worked out Rory. hope it did. gary

someone does that?!?!? gets paid for stuff they know?!?!?
