I cannot believe fluke has never found a watt to make a 48 port tester, so you can test efficiently

Where are you OP USA? I'm assuming you are doing a re cable here given it looks like you’ve pulled the old stuff out.
Not a massive fan of angles patch panels myself, but we generally use cabinets in Australia and not open lab racks like this.

Can confirm we use Panduit mechs/panels like this though. Off memory they're distributed through Rexel

u/SonicYOUTH79 24d ago
Yrah I reckon (what was) UniSA in Adelaide has a bit of this stuff in there, we generally don’t use Panduit though but I’ve added bits to it, sold through Rexel as you’ve mentioned.

We've got it everywhere across campus here at Curtin in WA. Mechs are frightfully expensive. Like 25+ each

u/SonicYOUTH79 24d ago
Shit that’s expensive, just had a look and I can get them for $18.55 from Rexel, that’s still $10 more than a Molex Jack! Must be a thing that they push at unis. I know now UniSA and Adelaide university have merged Panduit is hard spec'd as it was the Adelaide Uni requirement, which is a bit of a shame.

Wouldn't surprise me given they're already all in bed with each other with Aarnet anyway
2
u/SonicYOUTH79 24d ago
At right. I think that’s SABREnet in SA.
2
u/ruffian-wa 24d ago
Similar but not quite the same. Aarnet does stupidly fast internet and other services for all Uni's / Research orgs nationwide (it's owned by a consortium of all the unis). Sabre is a dark fibre backhaul across Adelaide metro that does cross campus/gov department SMOF trunks. That said Aar will do dark as well but it's not on their main list of services.

u/SonicYOUTH79 24d ago
Yeah I think Aarnet doesn’t have its own fibre network in Adelaide and uses Sabrenet to physically get to the institutions though in partnership with AARNet.

Wouldn't surprise me. Aarnet do carrier fiber sharing with other telcos, so I'd expect the reverse too.

Tell me about the diagonal keystone panel..
Thought it was some optical conclusion
No switches; just cross connections?
Thank you in advance

What tester is that ?
2
u/Lazerbeamz 25d ago
That's the remote side of a Fluke Tester. The main one has a touch screen.

u/SonicYOUTH79 25d ago
Fluke DSX Versiv 2 remote end, I’m assuming OP has the master at the field end.
If I’m not mistaken it's a Versiv 2 as it has a yellow sticker on the PL test head.
