Today we headed over to Luis's house to do another install. He ended up on TP-Link equipment primarily because buy Ubiquiti products was just impossible. Everything ended up being sold out each time he tried to make a purchase. This video is primarily making network cables and more network cables. So many cables lol.

Excellent video on this install, really enjoyed it and looking forward to the part 2.

Thanks Jim! Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully there will be a Part 2. I need closure!

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

I think so too!

@ShinyTechThings 2 года назад

Hopefully TP-LINK will take this opportunity to throw some big $ at development and outpace Ubiquiti. They can handle more volume on sales and I just see that the software side needs a little bit more polish for more complicated networks to be considered a threat but I would think that they have the money to do so if they wanted to.

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

While not discussed in the video, the entire reason the owner has TP-Link was simply because he was unable to order anything from Ubiquiti. This is the 2nd install I have done where Ubiquiti lost a client due to lack of stock. This client would have gone all in on an entire network stack including cameras and maybe even displays. I can only imagine what other professional installers have to deal with.

@pachjo123 Год назад

@@SPXLabs Add 1 more that's why I went with Omada at my parents' house was because I was unable to find anything unify that was available. The fact that my entire Omada setup cost nearly the same amount as a UDM pro SE was the biggest selling point for me. I have had 0 problems with Omada, and everything just works. I couldn't find a consumer router I liked and replacing crap with newer crap didn't make any sense. I looked at all the Wi-Fi 6 and 6e consumer routers and they all where crap and basically the same. Unify was my first choice and Omada my second. I also got IPV6 working with Xfinity, and I have 19 out of 20 on ipv6 tests for people wondering Omada is compatible with IPV6.

Please add some 'Advanced' security on that Reolink NVR. It appears that the QR-Code was shown in the clear.

@ShinyTechThings 2 года назад

I'd still test the cabling even though it's new. Lots of builders don't care and yank cabling and sometimes nick through the sheathing. Get a fluke and you'll see if it's damaged or not.

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

If anything is likely to be wrong here, it's letting a colour blind person (me) make your cables.

Just an fyi, when a home has a prewired location in hardiplank like the patio, if they don't use a workbox, they'll attach it to a recessed contact and paint. You can see the contact when you look closely.

@ptessier73 2 года назад

Ohhh boy.. I sympathize. I had to terminate 15 cables this weekend, test, figure out what was wrong when it didn't work.. So time consuming and my fingers hurt from sliding down that plastic thing. I didn't cut them short like you did before putting the plastic holder before putting them into the terminator.. I guess I'll try that next time, maybe save me the extra effort... Those WIFI wall plates are awesome.. Those female to female keystone are amazing, no need to punch-in wires..

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

Lol yeah it can be rough. My fingers were pretty tender after leaving that day. I’ve always cut em short. Just easier for me to work with. Idk I think I prefer punch down still. Female to female is great for changing around often but man. Making those ends was not fun lol.

@GoogleUser-ee8ro 2 года назад

great video. I have a couple of questions: 1) how is noise and heat level from those equipments if you have to use that little room as an office to do some work? 2) total power consumption for home network, I did a quick calc: IP cameras + switch + gateway/router + WAP = 200w*24*30= 144kw per month. not cheap for high energy cost countries. I am debating to settle for mesh network and wireless cameras.

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

1) we do not know because we are not done but the room is fairly large and has ac. maybe 6ft wide x 11ft long. 2) Unknown at this time but electricity is about ¢.10 per kwh.

@smileynetsmileynet7922 2 года назад

I would strongly think that air conditioners, stove, and standard tv uses way more electricity than a network. True, ive got a small apartment and am on a low income rate, but my air conditioner right now and stove are what made the bill $71.

@jfkastner 2 года назад

Fun video! IMHO the rack is not very deep, I installed some of those and most of the time ended up not being able to use the door because things were 'sticking out'

@ShinyTechThings 2 года назад

@jay kastner depends on what all is in the rack but you can adjust the inside and push it back slightly. I usually setup the shorter racks from Tripp-Lite.

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

Interesting. Thankfully that wasn't an issue for us. Everything fits and closes up.

@sonofagreatsouthernland 2 года назад

Labelling your cables with a sharpie at rough-in will save you the aggravation later on trying to find them etc.......but you now know that I'm sure. 😁

@nicholasd7731 Год назад

Excellent. Did anyone realize that the smoke detector chirped?

@SPXLabs Год назад

Yeah. The place was still “under construction” literally was being painted when I showed up. Typically they leave the smoke detectors chirping until the house is inspected.

@ShinyTechThings 2 года назад

When the cable is mounted upside down the data gets flipped and everything comes out corrupted as it's in reverse 🤦‍♂️🤣

Not bad guys, I personally would have mounted the rack over top of that wall box, then put in a patch panel.

@SPXLabs 2 года назад

Owner was a bit weary about mounting and cutting holes in the wall at this time. They closed literally the day of filming and the house wasn't even done being painted. So we had to make the decision to not do anything that may jeopardize issues with the builder + insurance + legal

Typically in new construction, they are in test mode so that way during inspections, the inspectors can more easily verify they are working. The problem is, they let them be in test mode for weeks because lord knows when the inspections will actually happen.
