    Temporary POE connection.

    I’ll try and verbalize this as best I can. I have a PFA 121 mounting box. On one side it has a G3/4 “pipe” plug. I bought a POE extender that is small enough to fit into the box. I want one port of the extender to go to the permanently installed camera. The second port will go to an RJ45 female...

    Happy Veterans Day!

    My father was a Korean War veteran. My history teacher in high school was a draft dodging sack of sh*t and also the assistant coach. We spent history class reviewing last Friday’s football videos. When I asked if we could discuss history instead of football he said that the Korean War and...

    I remember in the late 90s, they drained lake Griffin they said it was the most alligator infested lake in the state. I think we will eventually find something greater than 15 ft.

    Happy Veterans Day!

    I just talked to a guy that knew 6 guys on that list. I would go through 5 gallons of trichlo a week. We ripped out the asbestos but still found piles in the crannies after the shipyard certified us as clean. The advantage of a surface ship is that we could turn over so much air an hour that...

    Happy Veterans Day!

    Thanks to all the veterans on this forum. This very serious article came out this past week from the Submariners Advocacy Group. The very nature of being a veteran means we were exposed to a large number of hazards. Submariners are exposed and continuously re-exposed time and time again because...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Gloves shouldn't be worn while running a lathe. The risks of a glove getting caught in the turning mechanisms far exceed the benefits. No gloves and no loose long sleaves! https://legalbeagle.com/7560870-osha-gloves-around-moving-equipment.html

    I noticed that also, but I have two doors that swing out to my lanai. I think (hope) the hinges used are tamper proof!

    Camera to stream basketball games at church

    @HMC8403 someone else asked about cameras for streaming a sporting event. My thoughts at the time was to use a portable basketball hoop to mount the camera to. If you have portables around, you can roll it around to find the best spot. You can mount at various heights to get the vantage point...

    How to waterproof a PFA130-E junction box

    @ministrymason You keep mentioning a cable gland. I do not think finding one to clamp down on cat5 cable would be difficult. I have done this several times with cat5 cable and SO cord. But I think most glands would be to deep to screw it inside. How about a pipe to barbed connection like uxcell...

    Junction box hole size for my conduit

    Yes the 1/2 is 1/2 inch. But with pipe 1/2 is nominal not actual! It looks like the 20mmx1/2” is the right fitting for your 15mm pipe. But I’m just a yank! Your results may vary.

    Junction box hole size for my conduit

    So the conduit is comparable to our 1/2 pipe size. You might ask if they have g1/2 fittings. A US hardware store would not but maybe yours? Or Amazon.com.au? This from Bunnings https://www.bunnings.com.au/holman-15mm-x-1-2-pvc-valve-socket_p3141883 says 1/2 but I am clueless on if Australia 1/2"...

    Junction box hole size for my conduit

    From that link, that jb has one g1/2 opening on the back and 2 g1/2 openings along the perimeter of the box. G designation is for british standard pipe. It is roughly 1/2 npt. 15mm conduit seems a bit odd. Where are you measuring it? If you look at G Pipe Thread vs NPT - Metleader, you might be...

    Amazon deal $70 JUNE 19 2025 : NETGEAR 8-Port PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Essentials Switch (GS308PP) - with 8 x PoE+ @ 83W

    I didn’t need one of these at $70 but it turned out that I did at $50! I got it yesterday and noticed “flexpoe” on the box. Just put a bigger power supply on it and get a higher poe budget. Is this hokus pokus? The upgraded power supply is way more than the switch. Would this apply to all poe...

    Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

    I kept getting a tingle when my forearm touched a slider when getting into the RV. I checked with my Fluke between the slider and concrete pad. It started out about 10 and I decided I would need to look into it later. At 60 volts, it hurt and I decided I should look into it NOW! The ground pin...

    Back about 1990, my Irish Shepherd had to be put down. I couldn't bear to be there for it so I released her to the vet and picked up ashes a couple of weeks later. Vet said the cremation occurred in NYC. I lived upstate back then. It wasn't that much later that the news reported that vets in...

    Holy Shit! Pyramid discovery

    I'm not buying it. That first video had an awful lot of verbiage to say nothing! If ground penetrating radar can go 100 feet, how can an instrument on a satellite go a mile down? why not bring that type of instrument do Giza and use it on the ground? I'm not saying that the Egyptian government...
