Although we’re living in an increasingly wireless world, cabling is still a major part of every company’s AV and IT technology concerns.

If you’ve ever worked with wiring before, you know how much of a pain it can be to tuck everything away nice and neat in the perfect spot. A lot of employees will take the time to make it look nice. Sometimes, however, you end up living in a cable nightmare.

If you don’t think wiring can be scary, you’ve never been in the trenches of a “takeover job.” You know the type. Your firm is brought in to fix a faulty installation or finish the work another firm wasn’t able to complete. You make your way to the server room and, well, it’s a horrifying mess.

On the dotcom-monitor blog, David Leonhardt lays out these 13 cable messes from server rooms that will haunt any who has entered for months to come.
