Hey the trunk line to the other building went down. I'm going to lunch. Might want to hurry there's an important meeting in 30 minutes. I told the boss you'd get him back in business before then. Didn't you have a meeting with him tomorrow about a pay raise? Anyways, I'll be back at two!

They care about the reliability of your Internet service and online services.

Cables are the tubes of the internets.


Edit: Except for wireless, that's more like the lawn sprinklers of the internets. But eventually they also plug into a hose spigot.

Job security done wrong. This is how you ensure you won't be replaced...

According to pic OP, HDSDI 526x526 plus 526 backups.

I guessing it's a master control unit at a cable provider then.

i agree.

the person who did the first one is already looking for a new job.

this guy, he's employed for the next 800 years.

I can think of a few places where the first person would have been fired for doing something like that.

"Wait, you pissed away how much time making it look like that? The hell you think this is, NASA? Stop wasting my time and money! I don't care if it will save days of labor a year from now when we have to troubleshoot it. Think short term! Someone else can worry about long term problems."

That job would suck so much. Good looking finished product though.

No programmable backplanes to replace the cabling?
