When IT steps out: Cabling photos

Wherein the music of Ms. Taylor Swift uncannily applies to images of ICT structured cabling malfeasance, as seen on social media.

As the ubiquitous Taylor Swift once sung, "You can walk away and say, we don't need this / But something in your eyes says, we can beat this." Was Ms. Swift addressing the ICT structured cabling crowd on Reddit with these sentiments? Almost certainly, the answer is no. And yet, the words to her song 'Change' apply to a frankly uncanny degree ("It's a sad picture/The final blow hits ya...") to our usual round-up of the most intractable cabling site debacles, as seen mostly submitted to the social media site's 'Cablefail' community - with the final photo (a 'hang 10' doozie) being drawn from that other major social media receptacle, Twitter. Read on, enjoy, and stay well, friends.
