At L-com, we pride ourselves on the professionalism and commitment to customer service. Our goal is to deliver the best connectivity solutions possible for the organizations we serve and support.
To that extent, we’re always dismayed when we hear of an organization compromising quality. But as discovered in recent Facebook updates, some organizations take the compromise way too far when it comes to their cabling infrastructure.
We decided to take a deeper look across the web for more examples and we were surprised and often shocked at what we found. Here’s our list of the worst cabling disasters we could find online. We hope you enjoy and hope this isn’t a facility you’ve experienced in your own work environment!
