I couldn't get pictures of Ethernet wiring, but it's the same. Except the last photo, it's all wax string done very neatly.

Many places ban cable ties due to the sharp ends; some allow 'em if tensioned by a pistol-grip installer. Terry required lacing cord. You can guess his heritage. As for horror stories, a certain ISP near here that started out in a video store had piles of Sportsters. The wall warts were lined up and glued dead-bug style to a number of long 1x3's; then #14 copper was run down each side, daisy-chain soldered to each plug blade. There was no attempt to insulate any of upright plugs... I am SURE this is long gone, and the people there will likely deny it was them...as I would if it were me! -- A host is a host from coast to [email protected] & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
