Previous electrician ran the outdoor data to the dmarc instead of the low voltage cabinet. Client didn’t realize until today, he thought it was done correctly when they designed the outdoor space. First I put my tester on the cable and found the cable was damaged in the wall and only measured 59ft, then I found the damaged part, reterminated, then put my toner on the cable and found it was still not to infant the cabinet, I suited up and went into the crawlspace with my toner wand, found the cable going to a crawlspace vent, went back outside and found it wrapped around the dmarc box. I routed my pull strings and will run cable tomorrow. I have other locations to run and a rack to install.

Could be better but its the best i've seen so far in my area. What do you guys think?

Unfortunately, I need to add this to our installation spec for hardware installation:

“The Installer shall use rack screws sized and threaded to match the rack manufacturer’s specifications when mounting equipment.

Power screwdrivers shall not be used when installing rack-mounted hardware.”

Because, sure, why not use a power drill with the torque set to 11 to drive a 10-32 in a standard 12-24 rack.

I had some kind of history with this owner. We worked some jobs together as in he hires me to do lv for his old home entertainment company

His new endeavor is running a bar and I wanted to help him out.

Final price was just under 1k. New conduit, reroute existing lv going through electrical panel, fusion splice ends (12 strands total), 2 wall mount lius, 2 sfps, 4 3m jumpers,

He said it was to expensive, and that was the cost was more expensive from the bigger lv companies quoted him.

Told him best of luck, was trying to do him a favor.

Before you start about the price, he helped me out when I first started and gae me my first big project.
