There may or may not be an access point hanging from a PoE cable from this same enclosure.

Good to see I’m not alone.
Isn't it funny how you put a ton of effort into planning the perfect wiring setup, get it installed, and 3 months later you have a rats nest because your needs changed?

Definitely not. In the sad new era of Las Vegas furloughs I am embracing the fact that my corporate leadership is loving my and my teams' work now that they can't pay vendors to do a lot of the "big budget" stuff. Since March they have green-lit 3 new hires for me and gave me a bigger space. Flip side of this is the conversation goes "how do you like the new office - awesome look we need you downstairs in 45 minutes to film an event."

So being busy is my excuse - till it runs out and they tell me the fire marshal is coming!

As long as those are UL-listed cable ties and you don't have more than 7 power strips daisy-chained, I'm sure you'll be fine. :D

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

7? That's weak sauce man. It's 13 for good luck.

I appreciate the offer but I bit the bullet and bought a new charger direct from Apple. Should be here Weds.

Thanks anyway. I was just pissed at Apple's piss poor quality.
Doh. I kept looking for a response, but somehow missed this. Guess I'm the dumbass.

Oh well. Now you'll have a spare.
