I am trying to document my companies exisiting bix block connections.
Is there a standard software or excel sheets, visio diagrams, generic forms already created that I would be able to download instead of creating this from scratch.
I want to be able to document all the TN's, Ext. office jacks, etc within a visio diagram.
Any help would be appreciated

I requested a quote from one of them.

It was @ $8,500.00 for ONE workstation.

I have been using Word documents I created to document BIX Block layouts. Table layouts reperesnting the physical layout of the blocks.

I originally created them at my last job. I re-wired most of the building over a 2-3 year period.

I recently started using at my present job as I have taken over the inside wiring of the telephone system.

If you would like blank copies of the Word Documents I have been using click on "send a message" with an email address I can send them to.

Its a little tedious but I have not found anything better yet. And I HAVE looked.

The BIX/IBDN product line is now owned by Belden.
