| Which way do you pull CAT6 cables? One guy told me he pulled from the TR and it was wrong. Does this make any sense?

| | Kevin, I haven't pulled cable in a while but I wonder if they were referring to how the pairs laid out. I have pulled cable before from the workstation back which placed the pairs in an order that I had to flip around a little to get them into the jack and terminated per the mfg's instructions. I haven't heard of anything that says "it's wrong" one direction or the other but you do need to be aware of its impact on the pair layout as they are placed into the outlet. Robb.

| | Robb, Yes, this is making sense. After a little more digging found out that it's a 10G application. With this new X-Bar on the jack to guide the pairs into their IDC's. Does anyone have experience with this type of application that would shed more light. Thanks

| We are pulling Cat 5e and Cat 6 with the following procedure
1. cut a 24 or 48 cables with the proper measures to each WS
2. to "comb" the full 24 or 48 with velcro each 20 or 30 cm
3. To punch down each cable to the panel
4. to transport to the open tray (generally mesh type) and pull from each conduit drop to WS to the TeleTelecomm (panel is protected with its own manufacturer box
5. To route the panel to the cabinet or rack to be set on rails.
6. To punch down the WS jacks
7. terminate the plastic faceplates
8. with test and put all the identification tags (pathways, cable -both ends-, panel and so on)
9. To make all the technical documentation.

| | Kevin, For warranty purposes, you may need to contact the manufacture's engineer for permission to deviate from the instructions. I have had to get permission via email in the past because the green pair was supposed to slide into the bottom slot and the orange pair lay on top. Well because we reversed the direction of the pull, we found out we need to pull the green pair to the side, pull the orange pair up and wrap the green around it and into the bottom slot. It sounds strange but is was to mitigate cross talk. Each mfg may recommend something different and you just have to follow that. I bet, at worst, this is what you will have to do. I hope this helps.

| This kind of thing will drive you insane if you try to think too hard about it. With proper attention to termination techniques this should not be a problem. And if all else fails, tell the techs to stand on the other side of the cable. |

| Learned a bit from this experience.
Depending on termination (e.g. blocks, patch panels, jacks), one end of the cables (after pulled) can land correctly for termination. This means on other end of cables the pairs must be flipped for termination. Do you know your installation crew? For a large installation the crew tasks might need to be rearranged to meet the objective. Let the more experienced terminate the "flip side" and the new guy the other end. Hey, we all have to learn somehow and this one is called OJT.
Whether it's copper, fiber or just pulling cable, everyone's skills are different and "there's always someone better than you."
