OMG Dude, that is some of the craziest wiring I have seen yet!
RD
strange stuff!!
damn those wires are messy
zip ties always help with organizing wires
No, GOD NO! Zip ties are the bane of the industry. Too many twits yank down on them and kink the cables! Then every one and their mother wants to cut off the end of them, which turns them into little plastic razors! I can't even tell you how many scars I have from those things. Good god man. NO, just NO!
Wow...some of those are inconceivable! I can also tell which ones were put together by a serial killer.
The 2nd photo - Pho Ly Quoc Su is in Viet Nam. There are many examples of such wiring "arrangements" in Ha Noi and elsewhere. No idea in which city this particular street is since the same street names are used repeatedly in various cities.
ok, that credit card one was obviously done for effect. the card still has the "I am not yet activated" sticker on it. Someone just got a couple cards and some tweezers and took a photo.
Hey, good thing to note is those 'perfect' wiring jobs. there is such a thing as too perfect, and those are a good example. Proper structured cabling should not be perfectly parallel, combed, straight cables. Such an arrangement promotes crosstalk and impedes signals. cable bundles should be slightly lose, and allowed to weave a bit. They may look messy, but you'll have a significantly cleaner signal on your network.
Holy crap, did i actually LEARN something from my Data Communications course? oO
The ones that are messed up are called job security. HAHAHAHAHA
Wow James - interesting point, I was not aware of this (although I had my share of tackling crazy wiring)
Ditto the earlier comment about the evils of zip ties. Use only on a permanent installation, and it's rare any wiring is going to be permanent.
For most applications I use velcro ties, they're a bit more expensive than zip ties, but you only have to buy them once. Write them off as a business expense. :)
The pic of the girl tied up in the wire reminds me of something from way back when.

Keep reading.
Haha, some are real funny. Nice post ;)
That picture of the vintage wiring is almost artistic. :o)
@ james: Actually, Cat5/6 cables, as well as shielded coax/fibre/other waveguides are designed not to crosstalk with each other. Consider that a Cat5 has 4 pairs, each w/ different signals, and they don't have problems due to the architecture i.e., the twist in the pairs along with the opposing current creates a net 0 EM field, therefore no inducted voltage in another pair.
I also agree w/ Scott, I hate zip ties, although if I have to use them, I twist them off, which creates a smooth end. I hate them more due to the disposable nature of them...
one last link to the ultimalatte wild wiring http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Touched_by_His_Noodly_Appendage.jpg/250px-Touched_by_His_Noodly_Appendage.jpg
This is what happens when wiring is left to software engineer or system adminstrators!!
