01 · ABOUT THIS PROJECT

I installed and configured structured Ethernet cabling running from the main distribution center (MDF) to an intermediate distribution frame (IDF). The project involved pulling data cabling through stud walls, mounting a patch panel onto an open-frame equipment rack, and terminating lines to wall jacks. Following the physical runs and terminations, I conducted thorough testing on both the phone backbone and Ethernet backbone to verify connectivity, signal integrity, and network performance.
