Inside one of two equipment racks housing audio-visual control and processing equipment for a large lecture auditorium and three conference rooms. The installation was performed by a company better known for their audio-visual rental and staging services which tried and epically failed to get a foothold in the systems installation business. Needless to say, this outfit did not give a rat's anal passage about industry standards for workmanship...calling this poorly managed spaghetti a rat's nest would be insulting to rats. The department operating these facilities called me to troubleshoot a problem with a computer projector in one of the conference rooms. (There is also a problem with the videoconferencing equipment in this rack, but I won't go there.) To make a long story short, instead of going from the wall-mounted control box where the laptop input is straight to the room's ceiling-mounted projector, the cabling takes a detour into this colorful version of hell (or is it a Jackson Pollock-style painting reinterpreted as a wiring job?). Suffice to say it took about 45 minutes to find the wiring to and from the conference room to bypass a faulty component hidden amidst this mess. This nightmare system was torn out and replaced with an improved, properly-designed system in 2012.
