MaxPower said:It's 6:13 AM now, and I'm about to leave to go into manhatan now to go to a building that one of our customers is building on lexington ave. I have to do a site survey to determin the best way to kit the premise equipment for the cabling guys to do the installations. Fucked up we already shipped them like 2 million feet of Cat5 4x4, which is 4 cat-5 cables in one common semi-armored outer insulation; and like 750,000 feet of fiber-optic riser.
The strange thing is, we would normally do a site survey early on in the construction. Theres no accounting for preparedness.
Cabling is not my end of the business, so I was even suprised at all the cabling that goes into such a large bldg. I'm back now BTW. They have all the walls up and a lot of the 4x4 is routed. I was checking all the wiring closets as they call them, they're actually full size telecom rooms. 2 per floor (on all but 5 floors) on a 50 floor structure. We are supplying them with all the networking and telecom racks, patch-panels, jacks wall plates, copper/fiber-optic cable, including patchcords. By far the largest venture i've personally been involved in. over 100,000 patch cords total copper and fiber.Hypertron said:HOLY SHIT 2 million feet of CAT5 4x4...thats like 8 million feet if it were just CAT5...GOD DAMN!!!

I wish we could have provided all their cisco routers and switches, but they have all their own CCIE's so they're a cisco Gold partner, which means that they can buy direct from cisco at a huge discount. Each of the 10 networking racks in each telecom room has a cisco catalyst 6500 series switches, with all their card slots packed. Fuck, with that config, it's like a $35,000 switch. assuming they all have the same config that's like what? almost $35 million, just in ethernet switching alone. Holy Crap! wish one of those would fall off a truck.
