Alright guys,
My low voltage wiring is almost complete. They plan on being done on Tuesday. However, I have some issues that need to be dealt with:
Firstly, I want to make sure that all of this cable is in working order. Sure it LOOKS ok, but who knows if it actually functions? However, the only way to have them test their wiring is to have it terminated. This is the problem. I was planning on terminating the wire over a period of time, starting with the most critical areas first. Now, it looks as though I may have to terminate this week! What do you guys think is the best way to go about this?
Should I terminate this week before insulation and drywall, so that they are able to test the wire?
Should I wait until after drywall to terminate and have them test then? (The issue with that is if something doenst work, who did it? Drywallers, or wiring guys?)
Should I stick with the original plan and terminate as I need it? (If I run into a problem, I would then call them up to come out and fix it)
If I terminate most of the drops and both ends, will I not have to re-terminate the homerun cabling since it will be going into punchblocks/elk/etc...?
I am just not sure what the best course of action is. I have over 200 runs, and insulation starts in 1 week.
EDIT: BTW, in the wiring contract it states the following: "R..... Communications will warranty all labor for the life of the cable"
