Misguided efforts: Cabling photos

March 27, 2020

Our weekly photo round-up of the best tries, and fails, at ICT structured cabling adequacy.

Welcome to our weekly round-up of the best tries and fails at ICT structured cabling adequacy, as mostly seen posted to social media at Reddit's 'Cablefail' sub-community.

We say "mostly" because this week's first photo chronicling misguided efforts in the field is reader-submitted! (Thanks Richard!)
