That is impressive work. The only one I see being an issue is the one with the tywraps. The tywraps should not be that tight. You should use velcro instead.

Wire is often reduced to the desired diameter and properties by repeated drawing through progressively smaller dies, or traditionally holes in draw plates. After a number of passes the wire may be annealed to facilitate more drawing or, if it is a finished product, to maximise ductility and conductivity.

Well looks pritty impressive, just think of the massive alien crosstalk and FEXT. Shame the engineers that install the "media" aren't payed like the rest of the I.T. trade. A complete injustice, when in the UK we have to compete with bored chippys, trying their luck at another trade (it's just a cable, pull it harder!!!) and sparkies(two core and earth, where does the orange and green wires go?)and migrant cowboys under cutting British engineers and doing a bad job at it. Like our trade isn't suffering as it is already More recognition is needed for sub contractors as it's us that do the majority of the networking donkey work.  http://www.alquilerdeyatesenibiza.com If it wern't for us comms (cable monkeys) engineers, nerds would have no communictaion media as that's below them to install cabling!! I mean how many MCSE or Cisco engineers have ever been cable monkeys.

woW I wanna use this =P

"That looks great and all, but I'm sad to inform you that the entire 9th floor now needs to be connected to the DMZ."

KOOL :D

:O i'll jammed my head if i have to do it everyday. it look like mess but its an art. and extremely hard work for a cable man. guess what if any of those cable damaged.. can't think of it.

Wow Amazing. Very artistic patterns. Thanks for this post.

WOW, those are some extremely clean cabling!

They are well organized, I think it takes much time to arrange cables at that way..

Good luck when it's time to move a cable for troubleshooting.

Wonder how anal the person was who did that and how long it took. Not bad at all, just the most organized, well kept set of mass cabling I've ever seen in my life.

Quality, I could do with them in my server room

If only my cabinets could look that good.

It's so beautiful. You never see server racks that organized!

Wow. What a great resume those pics would make. Awesome!

amazing.... thanks for you sharing.

Ever hear of crosstalk? looks nice though.

Wow! These photos are extremely impressive.

This isn't art, it's quality workmanship. That's something that's rapidly disappearing from the world. Mostly becaue no one knows how or even cares.

Wow its so clean looking its almost like artwork!

This cabling picture take me back to when am working as Computer Engineer under Central Bank of Nigeria, Ibadan branch at Information technology Support Office,Since believed that am still going to work in my career here in America, because I like to be seen nice Computer/ Networking Engineering job established.

last image the innerduct is not protecting the fiber. Should have used an armored fiber in the data center. Also, OM3 'aqua' 50/125 micron fiber. Where is the rear cable management in the last image? Not much vertical management in majority of images. You call yourself cable installers? Well I ain't buyin'! Just kidding. Bob :)

Except for the lack of labels the first image reminds me very much of a Cisco EMAN POD.

It looks organized... not good. It should be seperated into groups of 24 at the point in leaves the ceiling or floor. Velcro should have been used as well. You need to see real professionals work, that would blow you away.

Great shots, The last place I worked had different coloured patch cables ranging from top to bottom - it looked like a rainbow on its side!

i hope you guys got paid by the hour, not by the job.

The server patchcables look really nice, however the network cabling looks kinda sloppy in the last pic. Nylon wraps are actually good for up Cat 5e or less. Also if the installation is certified, you won't have a cable go bad so you don't need to worry about removing those tie wraps. A properly done installation will run properly until it is outdated and needs to be replaced anyway.

"good post"

Wow! These photos are extremely impressive. Just goes to show you what some network cables and cable ties can do.

The fourth picture, second group of cables, has a cable out of order. It ruins the whole scheme.

Although impressive artistically, I wonder if all that time and effort bundling would be better spent elsewhere, and instead consolidating cables and connectiors into loose tubes, larger jackets, and connectors like an MTP, which can provide up to 72 fiber connections in a single point.

Wow, what a stylish design of Data Center Design, I really like it.

Thats pretty impressive, just think, my dedicated server looks like that. COOL!!

I have never seen such precision work in cabling! Great!

This is pure fascism. I'd never work under these circumscriptions !

This post clearly has to be in all porn-block filters! Now I can't get up to get a new cup of java from the coffee automat!

gOOd jOb

that is amazing!

This is another example of neatness run amok. Your data centre should be a fortress where nobody who thinks a clean room is a productive room is allowed to go. Neatness makes work impossible. I would quit if I worked in that place

Very nice! Our racks are neat as well... I'll try to post a picture sometime and send it to you.

wow i like it so much, thanks for inspiring me more about network design and everything. love it... God Bless you all Guys...

Totally awesome. My girlfriend and I are both just amazed at the sheer plenitude of time that it must have taken to accomplish most of these divine pieces of art.

Paul Kotas and Doug both got it right- nothing wrong with zip ties as long as the sheath isn't distorted, and and the cable will be numbered on the front of the panel. Personally I prefer my looms slightly more random for xtalk reasons. Nice work though.

I agree with some of the comments is that once problems arise and you have to move a cable then that is where the work begins. Nice work though.

Great artwork. However it looks like these wired cabinets exceeded the owners budget. The new server racks and data cabinets on the market these days are very inexpensive. There are many places to buy online. I found the quality and value of the network support furniture you can get to be above my expectations. Make sure you ask about the quality before you buy. Check out the data server racks if you get the opportunity.

optics anyone ?

I mean how many MCSE or Cisco engineers have ever been cable monkeys...very few I'd guess. Power to the data cabler...

tooo uniformal for CAT6, the data traffic cant be great. looks nice but not practical.

That cabling looks clean...nice pics.
