Rewire the home project using Leviton Enclosure and Media Panel

Well, all my stuff has arrived. ( short 1 8 port video splitter). No problem, I will find another when the time comes..

My brother Steve gave me what he calls the greatest tool ever made..


This tool nicks the cat5 casing. Just clip it on about 2-3 inches from the end then spin it around a few times. Take the tool off the wire and just pull off the sleeve.

I pushed through a few cable ties and added a twist tie for temporary positioning.


Phase one is to get the home phone line working! Mom needs the phone! Just punch down the run from the demark ( the run from outside the house ). I then punched down the run from where our cordless phone plugs in...then realized I punched each wire set in reverse...ooops.

Starting from the top of a section you need to start with blue/white then blue. If you look close at the photo I reversed them.....This is for just "phone" not data so it really dosen't matter but I will have to fix it...

Tested the phone and we are "on-line"
