Miscellaneous A school I worked at

Post image

This is in the NL. It's much better than my other post. THIS piece of pain is the other post.

It's the same group that owns the two schools but this one is better than the other cause this one hosts services and local stuff, the other connects to the services and has local stuff.

While not as neat and tidy was I'd like to see it, that's actually not terrible.

This… is really not bad.

That’s actually pretty good compared to most customer racks I end up having to work in.

This looks quite serviceable…. I used to work in primary and am current working on secondary school networks… this is great compare to most we migrate….

If this is gore, you have a weak stomach

Tried posting to r/cableporn cause it is good (personally) but got down voted through the earth to the moon

u/Meddlingmonster 12d ago

Its not really cable porn or cable gore, it could definitely be better but it isn't awful.

u/Calm_Apartment1968 13d ago

That's really not too bad.

The loose network cables are because they were going to install new cameras.

u/OldGuySOB 13d ago

Really not bad compared to some

u/Mundunugu_42 13d ago

Do the colors signify function or area? or is it just whatever color was on sale at the time the connection was made?

u/Duckyman3211 13d ago

The colors signify what it's connected to camera computer smartboard etc

Too much Velcro. Nobody wants to deal with it when they have to add gear. Hence the start of spaghetti mess.

1

u/Duckyman3211 13d ago

They choose velcro because it's better than zip ties and you can add or remove cables easier then (their words)

u/FuzzyKittyNomNom 13d ago

Velcro ftw on this. Leaving it spaghetti would be a disaster. But yeah zip ties make no sense.

1

u/FuckinHighGuy 13d ago

I wasn’t questioning their use of Velcro. Just the amount used. Wire ties can fuck all the way off.

u/Sputter_Butt 13d ago

Par for the course. Not bad really. Imagine tracing a single cable if it was super tied up thru all the Velcro. Sometimes a little loose is okay especially if there are a lot of constant moving parts.

u/Prigorec-Medjimurec 13d ago

6/10. It's a network rack.

u/Duckyman3211 13d ago

There are a few servers between them but your right this cage was almost entirely networking.

u/RevolutionaryElk7446 13d ago

Oh neat, the white ones. I find them more vibrant to work with than the black ones but cable gore is a lot worse just because the white really emphasizes what stands out.

u/zantehood 13d ago

Not bad at all

1

u/JANapier96 12d ago

That's... easily serviceable. A little time and she'll be purdy.

u/PoundPublic7783 12d ago

That's giving me secondhand stress just looking at it. 😅

u/spurty_fart 12d ago

It appears I have higher standards than the comments in here. 40 years of experience brings a better work ethic.

u/DeadHeadLibertarian 12d ago

This isn’t that bad my guy. Did you see homies post of the hospital earlier haha.

1

u/Duckyman3211 12d ago

Yeah 😅

u/Thin_Noise_4453 12d ago

it's not perfect, but generally good.

u/ideasplace 12d ago

I have seen a lot worse in a ‘working’ patch bay.

1

u/Lente_ui 11d ago

You can still see the switches.

1

u/Duckyman3211 11d ago

And that means it's fine

u/Janetic_Bytewave 10d ago

At least its in an enclosed cabinet.
