Tips and tools...<br>
<br>
Colored tape. Learn to count in base 5 in colors, blue, orange, green,<br>
brown, slate.<br>
Running new cable, run multiple cable at the same time, taped in a bundle.<br>
Running new cable, use multiple source boxes, color each box, tape the<br>
output of the boxes together streamlined, run that.<br>
<br>
SOP for my dad's telecom business, run as many cables as you need at a<br>
drop, and also a spare.<br>
