Sorry you're mistaken, Larry=Cable Guy.

The customer wanted me to install a new voice/data network.

The first two pictures are what it looked like before I started, and the final picture is my install.



And a Close-Up



After:

Wow, what an improvement. How come they are always willing to pay to do it right the second time?

What is that wire coming out of the wall just above the electrical outlet?
I think I spot the phone jack from your other post

Correct Jeff. It's the same location.

I had intended to run all the cable inside the wall, however I discovered that the at one time the wall had a window right there...it was just "framed in". Thus the little sticks of raceway to work around the blockages.

This bid job was site unseen and 250 miles out of town.

"Take what you think you might need."

I would have used a long flex bit through the mudring below and through a larger hole behind the rack for the runs that go up. Or a new mudring can be cut in 6" above or below the blocking to allow a standard auger access to drill through. Cap it off with a blank plate or the owner can have the hole patched. Looks better IMHO than a raceway going halfway up a wall.

This is what I was curious about...

Yes, that was "Customer Installed"

Here's 3 of a switch I completed this week.




Just need to heatshrink the end and done.


But in reality, higherups called for braiding the cables, which I have no pictures of. I hate braiding cables.

Also, please note that that mx80 is supported by a 0u shelf on the bottom, only able to secure with two screws on the top. Bottom holes were covered/occupied by shelf. there's another relay rack in back of the front relay rack supporting the back end of the equipment.

Good job Badcable.

Here is another picture of how it should be done:
