There is a 48 port patch panel in the cab in the office upstairs, of which 29 ports are used.

The Cab has 7 free U, we need 2 for the switches and 1 for Boole leaving 4...

N.B. new plans depend on working out what we need for new classrooms etc.

To be added

Rear Door

Socket needed for doorbot (Wilson) I'd suggest running a double to here done, but may want a direct connection instead.

Quiet room

• 1 x double socket and a quad - maybe not if we put shelving up.

Classroom 2

Ignoreing this for now.

South Wall Outside the Classroom

• quad socket by tesla
• quad socket by the table next to tesla

Both above serve tesla + babbage + printers + other bits

• dual socket on the east side of the electronics bench
• and another on the west side

• dual socket somewhere by the door for future doorbot + other bits <- maybe a quad here?

All the above to go over new trunking, 14 cables.

Classroom

• sockets on north and west walls done!
• East wall: 4 x double socket
• South wall 3 double sockets

all 7 double sockets above to be fed from the trunking on the south side of the horizontal pillar thing along the ceiling == 14 cables, maybe too much to fit?

Basement

Existing

• 19 - 20 on far wall near hose reel and phone dist boards.
• 21 - 22 on wall on outside of lift plant room
• 23 - 24 biohack basement on far wall.
• 25 - 26 near fire hose pumps hidden behind the desk/counter

To be added

• 1 x double socket near biohackers door for ac node/doorbot
• 2 x double socket in each workshop for acnode
• ?

Total new sockets on the ground floor cabinet

4 between ground and basement 14 in the classroom 14 along south wall -- 32

= 28 new ports needed (4 spare on the existing panels).

but 24 ports a panel, so 2nd new panel with 18 free? or restrict ourselves to 28 new ports?

5 doubles in the classroom 1 quad by tesla and babbage 1 double by tesla and babbage 1 quad by the door?

= 20 + 4 to the basement.
