Installation of the week: Data Panel Makeover

A homeowner called Audio Impact in San Diego, asking us to please come out and take a look as to why he could not close his low voltage panel doors in his closet. He also mentioned that he experienced intermittent telephone and internet problems.

When Audio Impact System Designer, Ryan Lipkovicius, arrived on site, the homeowner was only too happy. None of the Master Suite closet space in this immediate area could be used. At first glance it was obvious why the panels would not close. Upon further inspection there were notable cable patches and splices. The modem and router were dangling in place by the cat5e ethernet cable that was connected to them.

Audio Impact Technician, Ernesto Vega, was scheduled to return to organize the smart panel and verify all systems relating to it. Ernesto cleaned up all the wiring and added an additional network switch to activate all the data jacks in the home. He labeled all the cable room names and a surge protected powerstip was added to aid the equipment. The homeowner mentioned he was experiencing poor wireless reception. To fix this issue, Audio Impact installed an Apple Airport Extreme, as a wireless access point and flush mounted it to the outside cover with a custom bracket. This allows the wifi to penetrate the entire Master Suite.

The end result is another happy and satisfied customer, who no longer has network or phone issues, and a transformed smart low voltage panel that closes!
