I’m hoping those routers aren’t D-Link ;-)

Most likely Cisco, since Cisco pwnz… what is wrong with D-Link? Don’t be hating on D-Link, they make a very fine product line. I don’t think it all matters since it is just patch links, You can’t really find a bad one of those. I mean, it is the difference in getting a home wall jack and an industrial quality wall jack, the home one will work just fine, but the industrial will take more of a beating. Routers need to be Cisco, hands down.

Kelp? Looks more like H.R. Giger to me.

So who’s going to tell us what each of those wires goes to? :)
At least tell us what each of those 4 (5?) fiber lines come in are…

The Fiber lines are probably between core01 and core02 and switches maybe to some uplink providers too.
i feel bad for the person who had to crimp all those cables, hope they bought the Fiber cables pre-crimped.

Ahh, but crimping cables is a worthy activity. Builds character!

That is beautiful.
(shows how much of a geek I am)
thinking that patch cables and routers, and switches are beautiful.

They are cisco devices. Cat 6000 switches to be exact, but why in the world wouldn’t they have dual supervisor modules. Looks like an impending outage to me!!
