The SLH Home Systems guys were back today to finish up the cat 5 wiring and start their work on the phone and video distribution systems in the basement mechanical room. These systems will be housed in the steel enclosure installed next to the networking rack on the plywood wall panel. The first photo shows the new box mounted to the wall with the telephone and video cables routed into the top from the open ceiling above.
The next photo shows the Channel Vision phone line filter and surge protector installed in the new enclosure and the six dedicated phone lines terminated in the telecom distribution module just below.
The last photo shows the cat 5 patch panel installed in the top of the relay rack with all of the patch cables connected to the (barely visible) Netgear switch a couple of spaces below. We have 23 hard-wired (cat 5) network connections throughout the “L” Shaped House that can be used for a variety of purposes including networked computers & printers, wireless access points, or even (possibly) cat 5 video distribution.
All of the wiring associated with the home automation systems is terminated on the (plywood) panel in the mechanical room. Our goal (from the very beginning) is to have a “future proof” system that can be easily reconfigured from this central location to almost any purpose.
