From Mark W. Persons |

Hall of Shame photos taken from examples found here and there |
 |
From an
IT (Information Technology) area. It looks like the site started
out with a good plan with wire routing clamps, punch blocks, and RJ-45
connector blocks. The rest is a rat's-nest of unidentified wires
and cables. Warning! Don't let your work appear on this Web page. Click on the photo for a larger view. |

This is
a high traffic area leading from the reception area at a radio station
to the main studio. Numerous cables, including a satellite cable,
are draped across the floor. At the very least, this is a trip
hazard. There seems to be no end to the uses of duct tape
nowadays.

Behind
that same door, it looked like this. Warning! Don't let your work appear on this Web page. Click on the photo for a larger view. |

Another
bad example of computer networking in a radio studio! Warning! Don't let your work appear on this Web page. Click on the photo for a larger view. |

Yet
another
bad example of
a custom wood equipment rack with wiring
gone wrong.

This N connector was crimped on the end of a
piece of RG-8 cable used in the 950 MHz STL (Studio to transmitter Link)
band. Bad news! Never use RG-8 cable for 950 MHz
because of high loss. Crimped-on connectors are a reliability
problem and can introduce a huge mismatch as was the case with this one.
Better connectors can be found
here.

The stories go on and on. Stop in again sometime.
I'll leave the soldering iron on for
you.
