So heres a follow-up to my original post... after we ran all our wires and the painters came in after dry-wall went up, we finally got a chance to get in this weekend and drop our wires. We had the tile guy put tile in and we had the painters do a final coat in our server room so we could do this....
To answer some questions.
1) My boss made the wire hangers out of PVC and threaded flanges. Worked great and a helluva lot cheaper then a wire chase system
2) All the wires are for many things. Blue: Data, White: Phone, Yellow: A mixture of IR controls, HVAC controls and PTZ controls for the cameras (also motorized blind controls), Brown: Alarm, Grey: Prox card readers, White: Mixture of speaker wires and door strike wires.
3) Why all the wires? Well our office is a mixture of a massive camera network (32 cameras, with about 6+ being PTZ cameras), security (alarm systems and access control) and automation... we'll be able to control everything from the lights, look at cameras, control doors from an iPhone or from a web interface. The system will also automatically turn all the lights off, close all the blinds, adjust the temperature when the alarms are armed. If the alarms go off, whatever zone is trigger, PTZ cameras will automatically focus to that area...
It'll be really neat when its done. But here are the photos of this weekends wiring:
