How is that rack mount going to survive, mounted like that? |

What a waste on Comcast's part. Looks like they gave you an entire leg off an LE, but then pushed the signal through a house amp instead of just hot tapping or doing some better splitting.
Overall though the rooms not too bad. Def had to dive into worse. |

I dig the dell server using the rack ears from the netgear switches.. I dont' think i've ever seen an 8 port voice modem like that. Interesting |

That server and switch being installed like that are really just expensive dust cups... |

Love how the EMTA has those stupid lever connectors instead of a modular jack like any other piece of telephone or data equipment! |

I'd prefer those, since it's akin to bridge modules in a telco NID. You can always All in all though, Comcast did a pretty horrible job with the phone lines. Would it have killed the installer to use a wire tacker? |

At least you don't have the exhaust from the commercial dryers dumping into that room. I have encountered many hotels where they didn't understand why this didn't work so well in the summer moths. |

It's not a +23 tap, it is a -23 tap. The numbers on the faces of the taps are pad value, meaning the amount of reduction in db to the input signal prior to output at the tap connector, (F-connector). The objective is to bleed off some signal for the tap and send the bulk to the next tap.
So, the signal input level from the hard cable distribution plant (exiting the conduit) is reduced by 23db at the first tap, then by 20db at the second tap, and finally by 17db at the third tap. |
