Thought my lead tech was messing with me about the coax staples, then I ran 40 drops in a Tucson hotel
He told me to quit using staples and switch to screw clips because staples crush the foam and kill the signal on long runs, and after fighting callbacks for 6 months on that job I finally tested both on a 150 foot line with my meter and he was dead right, so what cheap fix did a veteran have to prove to you before you believed it?
