Re: MDF Cleanup Hey kewlkeed,
"I'm not a cable man by any means... " I believe you stated not 2 weeks ago on another posting...I guess what you're really saying is that you do it for a living but you're not very good at it?
Listen Sport, I may be new to DSLR but I made this business into a career for the last 25 years, and I have provided instruction for others for a very long time, my creds are impeccable but I try to remain humble because there is always someone you can learn from. You on the other hand dish out off handed comments like you invented Time domain Reflectometry, you must realize that from your 19" jizz covered screen and keyboard you cant always see what you believe to be defects in others work in a 640 x 800 shot of 3 feet of cable that is obviously not the focus of jmich's posting. Why don't you go crimp plugs on PVC and run it in your plenum. |

e.g. they could be different colours to represent a different type of device, VLAN, uplink/inter or intra building/trunk/internet/etc.
I work for a company who uses different coloured cabled for various purposes (e.g. ethernet, console, high speed/PRI, low speed/dial/voice/BRI), all within the same MDF. If you ever saw our MDFs you would think that people have randomly skewed off the standard colour scheme because it was the only cable they could find or had in their hand at the time. But in fact it has been done for a purpose.
Then again it might simply be random coloured cables that have been installed which dont have any particular meaning.  |

To be quite honest, if someone did work such as what is shown in the "after" shot in a CO they would be shown the door. Maybe in the back office work like that is passable but never and I repeat never would it be found within a critical communications infrastructure or “real” datacenter. Heck it wouldn't even be tolerated as temporary work in most places.

For these guys, Im sure the outcome serves a means to an end. Functionally, its much better than the original, and that is all that matters. If aesthetics were really a major concern yes it could stand to *look* a bit better...
And I think that you will find that your comments are subjective. In developed countries, cabling standards are certainly much higher. Go to other places in the world and you'll find "just as dodgy" cabling in places that would give some people a heart attack.
I really dont see what the problem is with jmich's work. |
