Tips and tools...

Colored tape. Learn to count in base 5 in colors, blue, orange, green,
brown, slate.
Running new cable, run multiple cable at the same time, taped in a bundle.
Running new cable, use multiple source boxes, color each box, tape the
output of the boxes together streamlined, run that.

SOP for my dad's telecom business, run as many cables as you need at a
drop, and also a spare.
