comcast cable connection

[xxmlhedxx]

what a serious mess!! my company would fire us techs if any our closets looked like that!! WOW!

[getalife67]

THAT'S A VAMPIRE TAP HACKERS DREAM LOL

[Carpdude]

Are you kidding me? What a mess! This guy even called an Ortronics patch panel a 48 port switch!

Wow, there are so many things wrong with this closet, I cannot imagine what the rest of the building looks like! UGH!

[Gunshinzero]

@Carpdude LOL I noticed that too. The building equipment room has to be jacked

[noodles818]

Holy Hack Job! They do sell ladder tray for situations like these!!!, Lets just leave the wire "banjo strung" between the risers......The patch cables on the front of the rack are the least of their worries

[grejanegremon]

Hey Man! You need a cable splicer to arrange the whole cabinet...:)

[James1toknow]

@onyxsolo Can you believe this mess? I remember installing 1A2 key and you could follow my cross-connect and all sta cables and riser cables LOL this is a joke! What happened to our craft?

[James1toknow]

The patch panel is not a switch!! LOL and who the hell wired that mess? can anyone say structured wiring LOL what a mess! In the last 10 years of my 21 plus years as a telecom tech I have seen the art of proper wiring practices go to hell in a had bag from company's paying people $10.00 an hour to professionally wire building! what a joke.

[Gunshinzero]

@James1toknow You get what you pay for lol. Pay a monkey to wire the place then expect a jungle. You need a machete to find the rack in that place.

[James1toknow]

@Gunshinzero Well your right for the most part but my installs include the pricing for a professional install. Yes I have seen it all and when I was done they always ask the same question, "How come they didn't do it like you did"? LOL some people just don't understand structural wiring.

[joe0709]

Looks like the unquailified maintenance men worked under the guideance of the IT manager

[James1toknow]

@joe0709 freakin IT managers no structural wiring experience, I tell IT managers you can't read in a book what I know about wiring. I tell the I won't program your switch and you don't wire my MDF!

[zangetsu2k8]

A hotel is getting internet from a cable modem?? lame

[Obamazing91]

@zangetsu2k8 I KNOW RIGHT?! You would think they would have a fiber optic hook-up!!! the internet speed there must SUCK!!! LOL!!!

[zangetsu2k8]

@Obamazing91 indeed. I thing the USA needs to do some work on the information infrastructure, they are getting left way behind.

[jzimmerman1229]

Spaghetti Panel!

[NETWizzJbirk]

The Orthtronics is actually a patch panel.

[ManOfMeans]

@NETWizzJbirk I was just going to say the same thing!!

[TheNewCrysis]

do you have any idea what you are talking about or just can't speak English very well?

[rozh0108]

What I am confuse about that non of the RJ 45 is laibeled, so if some one get aproblem with his wire how do you know which one is it

anlso the arrangment of the cable is not so nice.

[tpsossff]

Many years ago I worked for Post Office telephones for a time. OK the technology was very different but the spagetti junctions were just the same. Back then all the wiring and cables had to be routed neatly and tied in possition. ....... that mess simply would not have been acceptable.

[maximumvideodrome]

@tpsossff It should still be unacceptable, too many people in IT with no knowledge of structured cabling. This happens too frequently, embarrassing really.

[sndd0138]

when i walk into closets like this I immediately fall into a dark and deep depression. There's no organization! I can't stand sloppy technicians.

[southarmaghdave]

bloody hell what a mess, anyone can throw cables in, why not use to cable tray or basket, the DPs for the phones uncovered and hap hazard, the cab could do with some cable tidies on the horizontal and cable management up the sides, such an utter mess

[gswimfrk]

great video!! Do u use a cable modem for the ethernet connection to the switch?

[WRNOVA]

Umm...what you refer to as a "switch" is actually a Patch Panel. Crack a book. That Baystack is a switch and so is the Cisco.

[Windows7douchbag]

No offense but that room's kinda messy

[glowstringer420]

nice risers. concreat then a firestop possibly? and nice sisco switch btw. i just got my fiber installer cert. :)

[hydrohobbyist]

The attenuation on that mess will negate the 'big name' hardware, whoever installed and/or maintains that needs fired.

Understandably the aesthetics are wrong but you really shouldnt be crossing over as many cables as that, keep them paralell for as much as possible. Nevertheless the performance is probably not an issue on such a small install but if them runs of cable are long then your asking for trouble.

[maxtorbelgium]

I agree, my serverrooms are much tidier

[sisgroup]

What a mess, My home server room is more tidy than that i think your network administrators have been drinking too must coffee or they have got lost on ""THE WEST SIDE MAN" lol

[whitelitning75]

Gross

[sirlepto]

Even the fire partition (red seal) in the floor pipe was compromised surely for the coaxial wire intallers.

[sof2finchy]

fascinating video, good upload, well done.

does the NSA have access to there?

[mansharker8]

yeah.... too much extra length of cables there, just centralize all the wires on a patch panel and use shorter wires for neatness

[JaEd0]

holy shit thats ugly.

[redant51]

Wow, no kidding. I dunno, the wire holding up the D-ring at 2:27 was sorta cute. : p

[badboyryan691982]

Ugly

[scogie12]

haha i would be ashamed to show that dude.. what a nightmare

[lizardman242]

Uggggghhhhhhh. Thats nasty looking. Someone needs to get a few wire management panel for that rack.

Seriously?? You got the moden scrwed on the wall and some lazy tech could not run it up and over are you guys serious.??

[mansharker8]

thats not dsl. its cable, but its an easy mistake.

[beaman220]

It was nice of Comcast to pull hardline in and put a tap there. Usually they just give you a RG-11 drop and tell you to go nuts.
