This! It may be hard to recognize because there is so much of it, but that is
Belden 8241 low-loss cable (the thick tough-to-work-with kind) and each was
cut to length, and had a cable number attached to both ends derived from
my drawings.
There was a lot more cable than usual because of the router/production switcher
re-entry issue, but I chose passive cable delay vs. expensive, active Delaying DA's.
Since the switching gear for both animation bay consoles
was in the master control area, all the cable ended up concentrated in one area,
so this was where the traffic jam was.
This shows the main rack area with the new routing, patching and monitoring
equipment installed.
I hired Sonny King's son Stevan to crawl around under there pulling cables
for us.
The biggest problem was that once the air conditioning was on, it was freezing
cold down there, and people don't like a cold floor.
There was also a sound issue where things like high-heels would echo around
under there into several rooms.
This was mostly solved by the selective use of mats and carpet, leaving
the floor tiles pullable in case we needed to run cable.
