I like it, it shows someone put some effort into it!

I guess one person's porn is another person's gore.

Cable gore

I think that's a bit excessive. !cablegore

That seems like a whole lotta RF interference.

It probably could have been done with two power supplies.

They used staples to attach the cables.

Audio should not be crossed with power.

Power cables should not be coiled unless you want induction loops, lower efficiency, and waste heat.

Great points! I learned a few things.

Power cables should not be coiled unless you want induction loops, lower efficiency, and waste heat.

Ideally, the cables would be the minimum length needed as I understand it. For excess cables though, is there a better solution to organize it to avoid coiling?

Cheradenine ,

You can zigzag them for something temporary.

For an install like this I would make everything to size. Quite a lot of this could be cleaned up by using only 1 or 2 multi tap power supplies that had a terminal strip for the output. The original cables could be used with the barrel plugs/USB/ whatever on the device end, and the other end cut to length.

For cables it's much better to use something like this photo, if you have many cables that need to be routed the same way there are cable ties with a ring tab that accepts a screw or nail.

I agree, which is why I wouldn't use these services myself.

Do they have an Alexa in the master bathroom?

I don't know. Hopefully not.

Wrench , in I make Paracord sleeved power cables for the film industry.

Is there a purpose to doing this besides being a esthetically pleasing?

They’re custom cables that have to be made to order as they’re all different. Also I use silicone wires which have a high heat resistance and very flexible but any small cut can tear the coating. So it needs to be protected with a sleeve. Plus it’s easier to find your personal calbles on set when they’re color coded (steadicam operators usually come with their own custom power cables for their steadicam but then also use cables from the camera package. And I’ve lost cables when they get mistakenly returned to the rental houses.

The fact that you’ve got things sanely separated, and the cable management is decent, I’d say you’re much better off than most who just shove their hardware into a forgotten corner only to wander back when the wifi goes down.

Something is better than nothing. It’s not like it would make sense to get a rack for it. XP

Astongt615 , in My first cable cleanup job, How did I do?

So what was the ratio of "eliminate" to "clean up"? Looks like a lot less plugged in than in the before.

This definitely looks halfway finished, they removed the wire nest. So are all those with missing cables using WiFi or what?

(I know OP the bot can't explain)

snor10 , in Hmmmmm, looks decent.

This is the opposite of decent, this is borderline erotic!

Jerb322 , in One rack each for me and my coworker. How did we do?
@Jerb322@lemmy.world avatar

Look good. Are they numbered or did you check continuity?

Hi stranger. This is a bot posting content with made up titles. So your question is never going to be answered. I'm not a fan and I don't think I'll post my own work if this is what it's going to be.
