It's like the hair of a Chinese empress.

That is one filthy whore.

Speaking of minerals, what do you do with dead geologists?

What scares me is the zipties...many bad things have happened from trying to carefully remove those things 🙁 Heavy-duty velcro or bust man...

^ I was going to gripe about zipties vs velcro wraps but I thought I was being nit picky.

Seen that in real life many times. Government entities, Fortune 500 companies, you name it. All succumb to the spaghetti mess.

Yeah, using a knife can be dangerous, scissors aren't meant for it and can break easily, best way is diagonal pliers (we always called them side cutters).

That's one hell of a patch bay Kaido. Since it's all BNC cable, I'm guessing some sort of video or RF application.

Looks like DS3s, but it could be something else.

hahaha You will be replaced when you can't find your own wire when you need to if something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong sooner or later!

i agree.

the person who did the first one is already looking for a new job.

this guy, he's employed for the next 800 years.

That's because they hired the wrong mofo. They don't know how to hire the right mofo. They've got dimwits in HR, and greedy leadership that doesn't give a shit as long as they get theirs.

Is the spaghetti mess more due to using pre made cables? I'm no network engineer but I'd think you would need to make your own cables to get it to be so perfect.

How to "welcome" the new IT guy to the office in 3 easy steps:

Step 1: Everyone leaves the office.
2: Someone calls the office asks for new IT guy.
3. Yells: "This is the bomb squad. We need you to disable the doomsday device immediately! You have 10 seconds! Cut the purple wire now!!!"

Laziness. My 4 year old could crimp a cat5 cable.

I was thinking the same thing earlier. Maybe they could coil up the excess wire where no one sees it if they use pre-made and they are too long.

Well the cat5 is cheap so there really is no excuse. The purple looks like CDI or something so of course that is cut just right. Rj45 is what like 5 cents a head?
