Lots of CAT5







May 04

12 x CAT5 cables down this channel - 4 for this room, and 8 poke through to the lounge.

Not a scratch on the coving - managed to get behind it into the ceiling cavity.








May 04

More wiring coming in. We take power from below, and data from the top.




May 04

Node 0 gets its own mains ring feed.







Feb 04

Wiring starting to take place. The house does not use wooden joists, but built upon concrete/steel beams.

What we have is a suspended ceiling downstairs which is great for running cabling !







Jan 2004

The Rack is in place - quickly thrown together to power up the DSL, Servers, and basic HA equipment.
