All,

I figured it out this morning (we closed on the house yesterday and moved in today).

The other 9 cables were taped together and out of site in the top of the media closet. Pulled them down and will terminate them tomorrow!

Everything is fine! What we all have been looking at is the patch panel for the phone system.

Those are what you'd put in a ethernet data punch down block.

king of the lab.

Finished up my network just lastnight. Now all I need is a small 10-12 port gigabit switch. Anyone know of any good deals going on?
