All I gain in life as an electrician terminating data wires in an IDF cabinet. Super important job, so let's get right to it. So, the first thing I do is I get my tools and my Phoenix headlamp. I love this headlamp because it has a long-lasting rechargeable battery providing me with light for all my jobs. And as an electrician, being able to see is critical. Here I'm terminating Cat 5e wire in this IDF cabinet for ethernet lines with [music] my dad who is a master electrician who is also wearing a Phoenix headlamp teaching me how to punch down low voltage before he gets too old. I'm learning like a sponge. Us younger tradesmen are a dying breed. My dad is showing me the color coding for data wire which is brown, orange, green, and blue. There are always eight wires in one data cable. Once we terminated 27 lines, the job was complete. Customer is satisfied. I put my tools away and my Phoenix headlamp. Now, that's what a day looks like as an electrician.
