ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Phone and data class

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am about to teeter way out on a limb.... And throw myself out to the sharks!

A while back, I wrote, and partly cut and pasted (for refferance purposes) a Phone and Data class for some of my guys who think the only wire they should deal with is #12 - 500MCM.

Now here's where I leap into the churning waters. I am posting it for a critique, as I for one value your opinions here on ECN. Also, some of us might get something out of the discussion....

Now bear in mind that I am not an edjucator.... I just put this together as a method of moving some of my guys around to the LV side as we often have guys how could make bending 4" EMT look simple, but dont know how to punch down a 568B, and sometimes we need the latter more.

Anyway for those whom would like to take a look....

Hey e
Not bad at all. I teach apprenticeship and adult ed (I gave up the full time VoTech teaching job back in 2000). If you have no probs with it I may forward copies of the pdf to some of my students. I don't specifically teach phone & data but do get into it occassionally when a student has the need.
The file is just under 2 megs and came down fairly quick.
