In the world of work, the maxims for maintaining a "clean work area" are many. You've seen the signage: Please...Clean Work Area At The End Of Each Shift. Your Job Is Not Complete Until Your Work Area Is Clean. And of course, A Clean Work Area Is a Safe Work Area.

Welcome to our periodic round-up of the "cleanest" ICT structured cabling installations as seen on social media in photos submitted to Reddit's 'Cableporn' sub-community. Enjoy.

"Nothing like a clean install! These cables are in the data center of a car manufacturing plant. In the big blue bundle, there are about 130 circuits which provide data to wireless access points (WiFi devices) and direct connections to computers. This is all shielded Cat 6A. In the smaller black bundle, there are over 1,500 fiber-optic circuits, which act as a network backbone for the entire ~800,000 square foot building that this data center is housed in." -- Reddit/Cableporn OP [orig. poster]: u/GranTrevino

"Just done. I really like the orange cables/black rack combo!" -- Reddit/Cableporn OP: u/IamRob94

"New network closet build-out. This is a hospital closet." -- Reddit/Cableporn OP: u/nickles69

"Done by Tiger @foxsports" -- Reddit/Cableporn OP: u/chamorro661

"How long before this new install turns spaghetti?" -- Reddit/Cableporn OP: u/Justneedsomehelps
