System Installation II

While my assistant was doing the cabling, I was inspecting the other cables at the Riser. Tomorrow, the Time Telecoms people would comission th eline and I will then connect these lines into the PBX. Too bad I cannot shorten the installation time due to the customer's insistence that I cannot remove their remaining PBX equipment until after 4PM today.

So, for tomorrow, my tasks are:

1) Commissioning of incoming lines
I will have to wait for the Time Telecom guys to tell me where their newly relocated lines (from UPM) are before I can connect them to the PBX.

2) Mounting of the third cabinet
Yep, the cabinet I removed this evening is going to go up there. And again, more cabling to be done.

3) Removal of Panasonic PBX at 12th Floor
Once I have removed the Panasonic system, I will have to trace and connect the previous cables to the new PBX system located two floors up.

This is the telephone riser which you can find on every floor.
The tenants would then engage cable contractors to lay cables from there into their own office.


This is the old 80's Hansa tag.
The source cable comes from the back while the connecting cable is in the front.
You use your screwdriver to connect the cables.
You screw it too hard, you're screwed.
You screw it too soft, you're screwed too.


This is the modern connector made famouse by Krone.
The source cables would be on top while the connecting cables would be at the bottom of each Tag.
You use a special punching tool to connect the cables.
Very systematic and neat


I have split the calbing between the PBX (left) and the telephone extensions (right).
To connect, I just punch in the "jumper cable" between the two sets of Krone Tags
My assistant of the week can be seen punching the cables in.
