HELP REQUIRED
Can you help the tech team? We need a structured cabling installer or telecoms technician who is skilled at working with CAT6 terminations, specifically Punch Down Keystone Jacks. It’s only a small job, but due to the high volume of data on the network, they must be made to a high standard. If you can help, or know someone who could, please talk to Tim Scholes. Thank you.
