Greetings One and All

Prey tell, what is the prescribed method for routing electricky to the
outside - well I guess the route to front bumper is fairly straight
forward, but what do folks do to get the juice to the roof?

Thanks for reading.

?

For what?

I presume for CB, spotlights or similar?

If so a suitably sized cable works for me ... generally routed under
carpets, behind fittings and under headlining as far as possible then out
through either a hole and grommet (suitably waterproofed) for a permanent
fitting, or through a door and taped flat as poss.

Dang, got all excited that this was an OT ciscoesque question then

Seem to recall someone on here running a piece of ally up the front pillar
to hide the cable run on the outside for a roof bar - have a look in the
archives for 2003 I think - Colin Batchelor was the instigator of the thread

Is there any reason not to use a snorkel, if one is fitted? Into the
snorkel in the engine bay (suitably sealed) and out through a hole near the
top. This would avoid any holes in bodywork, but still puts the cable where
it is needed.

LOL - me too, especially as I'm currently trying to decide which
one to get for the "comms cupboard" in our new house (I've already
got the Cat5 installation planned as I will be re-wiring the entire
house anyway!)

heh hee - knowing that many folks in here are from a tech backgfround I

You do of course mean Cat5e, I hope. May as well run in a few co-ax for
video feeds while you're at it.

Already in hand my friend! :) :)

It's going to be a 150 year old house with more wiring
than the space shuttle!!

Well, I had two thoughts - aside from completely discounting the wire
through the door bodge.

First is to use the hole and grommet method (as suggested by Paul) but I
seriously wonder about waterproofing such a thing, Second, it occured to
me I could run a piece of 20mm pipe (plastic would probably do) up from
the wing in parallel with (and in front of) the window/door frame.

I'm just being terribly impressed with my Netgear wireless bits at the
moment - if you want to bridge to say the garage, but SWMBO has decreed no
holes or unsightly wires, can I commend the Netgear WGPS606 print server,
dont bother connecting a printer to it, the for 10/100's are just fine for a
localised bit of wired network in the garage and a wireless bridge back to
the command centre.

ahem - i'll get my coat

Yeah, I've always liked Netgear as "home user" stuff - seems to be
well built and reliable - and even my Dad managed to follow their
instructions to install wireless broadband!! [Tho as default it
does leave it wide open - not that I would ever take advantage of
that by parking in a random street and connecting to the Internet
for free using WiFi on my laptop rather than GPRS!]

Will probably put some sort of wireless in place to cover the
outside spaces, but you just can't beat a cable for sheer brute
force when it comes to transferring lots of data, plus I can wire
it all up so I can put data and/or telephone down the same piece
of cable (not strictly standard I know - but hey, it's my house so
I'll do what I want!)

If I was cabling I'd *look* at Cat6 over Cat5e and possibly the odd bit
of dark fibre from say the comms cupboard to office.

CT100 at least. Cable is cheap, installing it isn't.

no kidding - wireless is still a toy in comparison.

perfectly acceptable within the spec - but as you're starting from
scratch, I'd be inclined to run in more than one cable to every location.
makes life much simpler when it comes to moves and changes later.

Having just had to resuscitate a 2600 series with ROMmon this isn't
funny.

Three goes, getting the right guess at the IOS it may originally have
had - even cranking the baud with confreg led to >1 hour Xmodem IOS
installs.

I 'kin love customers who let their feckwitted stoned student son p!ss
around with their business critical systems - no, I really _do_ love
them - as we have their credit card number and they agree to pay not
only my time, but an id-IOt interface error tax too.

Oh yes, and the cretin had also decided to swap the 2.2K UPS on their
server and the 1K UPS on their router around. When I asked him why,
he replied that "the bigger UPS should be on the router for longer
uptime in the event of an outage to maintain connectivity to their
server".

My response of "But, your server will die quicker won't it?"

was met by a smarmy "oh yes, and why will it?"

"Because it uses twice the amount of power than the router?".

At this point the customer ushers his stoned student son out of the
room and asks me if I'd like another coffee?

"Not if you're sending him for it I don't" - was my polite reply.

They offered, I agreed - 600 quid (+VAT) for 4 hours work - all not at
all necessary, but a lesson they'll remember.

I passed my tolerance level for problems caused by the terminally
dimwitted the other day, and told the CEO of my largest client that he
could stick his service agreement wherever he wanted and that I was off
to find a new client with less nepotism, fewer ****wits and less stress.

The response was great - they now pay me 10% more per hour and their two
biggest problems will be collecting their final pay cheques (with
included ****wit cards) at the end of July.

You want to come and renegotiate my charges for me? I'll pay you an
ongoing commission if you do a decent job of it. :)

Talking of which (UPS) and straying even further off-topic....

I need a UPS - wants to be rack-mounted and deliver 4-6 amps for about
10-20 minutes. Need the type where all power is routed through rather
than the cut-in jobbies.

any thoughts?

William,
I'd be looking at APC - not the cheapest, but for an inline UPS the
quality is there, and better still their sales people tell you the
truth, not just whatever it is you want to hear. They were very slow to
realise the need for rack mounted gear but over here, at least, they've
caught up to the Taiwanese/ Chinese cheapies in terms of features.
Expect to pay twice the price of those.
