Just like in the game, anyone who is able to jump between the connections deserves it.

What am I even looking at?
If I recall the story right, they are phone wires in one of the old central office with the phone lines. This is just where many of them come through and route, that giant 3ft by 3ft cluster**** is all communication lines. They all go into patch panels, I had a picture of one:

omg
omg is right! I thought it was some kind of rainbow wallpapering because of the title. Didn’t realize that was all data cable. Sheesh, that’s like the wall of cancer!
It’s really simple in it’s complex elegance. Each bay, shelf, and panel has a number. The panel tells you which count it is and where to find the termination. If you’re tracing something out it’s rather simple.
In a major city you have literally tens upon tens of thousands of wired connections in an office and the only way to organize them is thus.
Wall of cancer? WTF? Data cables are completely harmless…
actually even better, all those cables are making Faraday cage, so no supposedly carcinogenic mobile signal or wifi
I’m no rocket scientist but I do believe that you can’t get cancer from data cords… -.-
unless you eat them or something prolly no huge risk lol
That’s good because I usually take my cancer advice from oncologists, not rocket scientists.
It’s a cable tray holding tonnes of twisted pair copper cabling (for telephone/data)
that is a couple thousand telecom jumper wires, this is either a phone center or somebody’s IT department doesn’t care about line-loss.
I used to work telecom install/repair and this is what terrifying nightmares are made of.
And yeah, this has been floating aroung the interwebs for a looong time.
Compared to some of our cabling this is a win. Unless you are the guy with the toner trying to find that one pair…
It’s not too bad. Usually they use sheathed cable and you end up with only a few dozen cables to trace instead of hundreds of individual pairs.
That’s a pretty well put together one considering. You can’t find clean work like that any more. Nowadays it’d be run so roughshod it’d literally be in a knot.
I’m beginning to feel like an internet hipster “I already saw this on X” when I see stuff show up in here…
And yet still no one cares.
That makes me shiver. Nightmare indeed.
Yeah, anyone who ever worked in telecom is horrified by this sight. *shudder*
I’m glad I’m not the one who has to find the broken wire
I take it it’s easier to measure the needed wires by mass as opposed to length. Saying you need 2000 km of wire is harder to wrap your head around than say 800 kilograms.
NOW I see why VoIP is so cool
True dat!
They must get really good bandwidth
snip one without anyone knowing it and you will make a repairman very sad.
Or rich and un-sad.
Twisted pairs are lovely, are’nt they?
They should go wireless.
I wonder if they have ever heard of Fiber Optics ?
Oh My God. Is that the internet?
