[D Skelton]

I'm in awe! Who needs a woman? This is what makes me orgasm!!!

Seriously though, how on earth do people dress cables this well?!? What tools are they using?

If any of you on here are this good, present yourself to me now! I need to learn from you!

p.s. Merry Christmas!

 

[nadger]

That is simply stunning!

 

[Maddison]

Seen this a few months ago. Pretty amazing, the cable ties are the only thing that let it down for me should have been Velcro

 

[Marvo]

Artwork in its own right.

Merry Christmas Mr Skelton.

Pure craftmenship, still don't know how you begin to search for video like this D, your mind must never sleep.
don't think it was the same guy who did this though

Clearly done by a very proud workman. Lots of planning gone into the running order of the cables to get a result like that

 

[snowhead]

By todays accepted poor standards, that is stunning, but it's nothing special.

All telephone cables in GPO phone exchanges used to look like that in the 50's 60's 70's.
BUT they were laced with continuous waxed twine which also had to look neat.

Whoever did the Cat 6 does nothing but that all day, week, year long.
And was probably female.

Mmmmmmmm very nice merry Christmas

Reminds me of those vast MICC installations that you see at petrochem processing plants. Lot's of planning and craftsmanship are needed in all these types of installations. As snowhead quite rightly stated this was pretty much the standard in the old GPO telephone exchanges of yesteryear.


Always a pleasure to see, no matter when it was instaled mind!!

most of that harness will have been tied together loosely....then put into position....once in place the cable ties will have been nipped up....

I remember in my apprenticeship my journeyman made me remove cabling that had taken me a full day to install because the tracers on the sheaths weren't all in straight lines. Probably because installations in days gone by were expected to last decades but nowadays nothing is expected to be there for more than a few years so you rarely see the time and skill invested in the standard of installation nowadays.

Think it's as much to do with general lowering of work practices and cost cutting myself!!
Expectations of a completed installation, isn't anything like it once was, either by the client or the company installing systems these days, .....and it shows!! lol!!

 

[Pete999]

My first day as an apprentice, polishing MICC in those days it wasn't sheathed 1960s when pride mattered

 

[camerabloke]

The apprentices I've worked with spend more time polishing their phones

I remember back in the 60's using waxed twine and shellac to stop the knots coming undone when bundling the cables in the instruments we made and I remember also thanking the Lord on the day the boss bought a bag full of the new fangled plastic cable ties too !!

We never went back to using waxed twine ............... AND I AM NOT FEMALE!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everybody - except the pillock who started the Annoying Message Removal thread!

A cable Comb. If you look at at couple of the links on the You Tube page, there is a video of a guy using one. Great tool.

acom tools - Cable Comb

There you go. Put it on next year's Christmas list then you too can be as good as that guy. HTH.

 

[overskilled]

Most server rooms I've been in...have been an utter mess.....cables here there and blooming everywhere and frequently unmarked....

That however is outstanding, especially in todays climate

 

[mark ju]

Must be nice to have the time to do work like that without either the boss, foreman, site whatever chasing you to get finished.

 

[Deleted member 72666]

I'd hate to be the guy that has to replace one of those cables especially any of the middle ones!

Now this is the last load of cat6 cables I terminated. I thought I did a reasonably good job, nothing in comparison to what was shown in the video, but ok in my opinion.



Essentially, what you're saying in your above statement is that what is shown in the video is mediocre at best and anything less is crap. Makes me kinda upset to be honest that you're alluding to my work being rubbish and to me having poor standards.
