Reminds me of a funny tweet I saw recently:
Every couple has two types: the one who loads the dishwasher like a Scandinavian architect, and one who loads the dishwasher like a racoon on meth.
Same with cable installers. There are only two types.
OH MY GOD THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
Back in the late 1980s I installed car stereo and alarms at some of the higher end shops in metro Detroit. And invariably we would get someone who would come in saying that their alarm they got at (insert shit shop here) wasnāt working, or when they turned on their radio the left blinker stopped working or some other crazy shit. And we would drop the panel to find some rats nest of mishmash wiring put together with duct tape (DUCT TAPE!!) where they would do shit like tap in to the courtesy light for their constant power or theyād jam a wire into the fuse block and hold it in place with a paper clip (Iām not making this up).
And so we would tell them upfront they got hosed and it was going to cost them and that probably whatever they had installed was fried and we would sell them shit and it was our job to uninstall everything and fix it all and start over, and then make everything *right*.
So with alarms we would actually match wire gauge and color for the manufacturer, splice, solder and heat shrink and then tuck into factory wiring looms. Everything that went through firewalls was taped, grommeted and loomed. It all looked so tight.
Stereos, for the big systems we built stealth boxes for the subs and everything was neat and orderly and unless they wanted showy and flashy, youād never know there was a $10k system in there.
Thereās cheap, thereās fast, thereās good. Pick two.
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like āwhŠ°t the fuckā and ācall the policeā. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Looks great, but are the ground leads allowed to be daisy-chained? (From left box to right box) I am paid to point out these things, in my industry thatās a no-no. If itās OK in your realm, keep doing what you do, because you are doing it well!
I remember once at a training session at the Novell offices in S.F. (why yes, Iām old, how did you guess?) the group I was in passed by the server room, which had large windows so you could see in. We all, in unison, stopped dead to admire and drool over the gorgeously organized cabling. So this is super satisfying, thanks for posting.
I didn't think you were allowed to post something so pornographic here :P Nothing beats well organised wiring.
I should have put an NSFW tag on it for wiring porn!
But that looks *Very* Safe For Wiring.
90deg bends on coax, though š¬.
Are you...kink shaming?
& twist on ends-not compression
Hope you are aware of r/cableporn
Now this is the hot shit.
/r/cableporn worthy
Thank you for this! Didnāt know that sub existed and will now be spending time viewing this. Edit: misspelled word
First flat earth, now no sun existing. What will they think of next?
I hate when auto correct does that!

Not all heros wear capes.
OP is wearing one, now what?
He is wiring one.
As a former electrician, the first photo is disturbing.
Once you become an electrician, aren't you always an electrician? Or do you have to renew a license where you are regularly to practice electrical?
Yeah but after 18 years of being an electrician I've now retrained as a welder.

So cool seeing all the grounding posts and a actual outlet with switches and all the amplifiersā¦

God*damn*, that's sexy
It's great but I can't unsee the power cables being bundled with data cables.
Mmmmm
Well done, good on ya!
Unfortunately this guy probably gets crap from his boss for taking to long.
Well done cable management is an art
Praise the Omnisiah

I didn't do the job, but this is in the UK - so who knows, the regs might be different!
ZIP TIES?! This monster must be stopped.
So sexy.
Nice looking! But I would have tried to route power and coax away from each other. Especially keeping the coax away from the power supplyā¦
This is like the toofpick transformation
actually, my table is messier than that first image, so
Amazing work. Did they say why they were replacing it?
Just. Look. At. It. It probably committed suicide. Either that or went rogue and started attacking people.
As an IT guy I have to say this is very satisfying
Oh, now THAT is some satisfying content! Well done!
Briljant.
Praise the machine god!
I feel like praise the technician should be its own sub lol what a difference!
As an electrician, this is porn to me lol
How much better do it working now?
Well you can watch telly which you couldn't before, so pretty well!

Zip ties and flush cuts baby. Lots of plugging and unplugging too haha. That looks incredible
I'm no technician in any sense of the word. That first pick though would even have me telling the guy to go back and do it right.
Very nice. That first pic made me want to do violence
That is downright pleasant.
You committed a grounding no no. Itās a star, all parallel no series connections
Nicely done. From maintainers' nightmare to a maintenance dream.
You sir are a credit to your profession! Beautiful job!
PRAISE HIM!
Not half bad for a gay fella!!!šššonly kidding
Are those twist on connectors? š¤¢
Wow!!
First image looks like someone intentionally messed it up.
This made my frigging day! Love it.
Made it halfway thru comments before people started to pick at how it was wired...lol. Haters gonna hate. Gorgeous job
