We return with industry updates and a stack of field questions, then dig into failed tests, fiber versus copper, PoE planning, hospital retrofit estimating, and the QA habits that prevent rework. The throughline is simple: document, communicate, and draw a hard line at safety and code.
• Saving original test files and reading diagnostics
• Verifying calibration and retesting comparable links
• Choosing copper or fiber based on EMI, distance, and PoE
• Proposing compliant alternatives when pushed to cut corners
• Breaking hospital retrofits into zones and shifts
• Building bid assumptions and weekly communication plans
• Pulling four‑pair and matching connectors for PoE reliability
• Running dual cables for wireless capacity and resilience
• Establishing a QA process with 10 percent checks and photos
• Assigning work by crew with traceable sign‑offs
• Scheduling postmortems to capture and share lessons
