If any network administrator would see this picture, I'm sure he (or she) would faint or gasp in horror. After all, having what can only be deemed a mess of a cable set up runs against any and all network wiring layout practice - much less, best practice.
On the other hand, one must realize that this is but a temporary set up, so I can sort of understand why this layout was done. The idea is for a quick (and in this case, equally messy) set-up. After training, then this could easily and most possibly be pulled out. I'm sure the people responsible here had little time to practice having a more streamlined layout.
I guess I'm just surprised to see such a set-up, despite what I mentioned about the temporariness earlier of it all, in a well known, global I.T. company. This is the reason why I took this picture - after all, you don't see a scene like this... specially in a place like this.
In a way, I sometimes feel that this picture of the messy cables is a reflection of life - possibly even mine? I hope not. I'd like to think I have some semblance of order.
