If you think that rat’s nest of cables behind your computer is bad, check out some of these cable disasters – it’ll make you feel a lot better about your own personal “computer-cable hygiene”! This is the definitive list of the all-time worst (or at least sloppiest) wiring jobs ever, including out-of-control computer wiring, A/V cables gone-bad, data center disasters, and ridiculous power lines from around the world.
This looks like the “geeky” version of the Price is Right wheel.

If you think your job is hard, try being the guy that has to find the one loose cable in this mess of wires.

Watch your step…

At least these people are smart and put up a sign that says “Do Not Touch Any Of These Wires” - now that’s workplace safety at its best.

You’ve almost got to stand-up, and salute this patriotic cable mess.

There’s gotta be something living underneath that clump of cables! These audio cables are a little-bit out of control.

Almost looks like somebody pulled an office prank involving silly string and and a stack of servers.

Spaghetti never looked better.

Colorful cable catastrophes are some of my favorites – they’re a thing of beauty.


Yeah…that’s a lot of wiring!

Check out these beautiful long-locks of cable. Couldn’t they have made them a little shorter? It looks cool anyway.

This wiring job may look like crap, but as long as it works, it doesn’t matter what it looks like.

Innovative new pay-phone.

Here’s a couple of the original Google Servers. The first one was called “the Corkboard Rack”.


Have a look at these disgusting data centers…



Good idea…Get rid of the messy cables by stuffing them underneath the floor - “out of sight, out of mind”.

This is how you connect a TV, DVD player, XBOX 360, surround sound system, computer, phone, PS2, and anything that plugs into the wall, all into one outlet at your house. Quite an accomplishment.

This is cable chaos! I feel sorry for the guy who has to maintain this mess.

This one is just disgusting…

This pile of junk actually looks kinda cool.

Now lets take a look at some of the most ridiculous power lines in the world. I don’t think that very much planning went into the design of these cluttered cable messes.
Here’s a guy who’s trying to fix some power lines, and he’s not even wearing any shoes. Yeah…This is totally safe.

Can you squeeze anymore cables into this mess.

Talk about a tangled mess. I hope those cables aren’t live!

I think that Bangkok needs to rethink its power line infrastructure.




Watch your step – live wires right at head-level.

Seoul, Korea went a little “cable-happy” on this street corner.

Here are some beautiful cable-canopies covering these bustling city streets.


What can I say about this tangled disaster – It pretty much speaks for itself.

Here’s some more spaghetti to whet your appetite…


“Typical” home office set-up…

So how do you clean-up your cable mess? Here’s a sped-up version of how it’s done, called “2 Techs 1 Closet”. Nice work guys.
Ever had to work somewhere with comparably messy cable planning? Have you got a computer cable disaster of your own? Do you have an embarrassing jumble of tv cables behind your home cinema setup? Leave your comment below…

40例最为灾难性的电缆混乱
如果你觉得电脑背面像老鼠窝一样的电缆很糟糕,那么看看下面这些电缆之灾吧——这会使你对自己的“计算机电缆卫生”感觉好很多。这是一份权威的清单,列下了全世界史上最差的配线作品,包括失去控制的计算机配线,A/V电缆损坏,数据中心灾害,以及荒谬的配线。
这看上去像个令人讨厌的廉价轮胎。
如果你认为自己的工作很难,那么试着从这一大堆电线中找出一个线头来。
当心脚底下……
至少这些人还算明智,贴张纸说“不要触碰任何一根电线”——下面这个就是最安全的车间。
想必你几乎要起立你这堆爱国的电缆致敬了。
这堆电缆下面肯定还有些什么东西!这些声频电缆有点不受控制。
就好像有人在办公室恶作剧,把一堆服务器和愚蠢的电线搞在一起。
比意大利面条好不了多少。
五颜六色的电缆灾害是我的最爱——这也是一种美。
哇……好多电线!
看看这些长长的美丽的电缆绳索。就不能把它们弄短点吗?但无论如何这看上去很酷。
这个配线作品可能看上去像堆废物,不过只要它能工作,样子并不重要。
新式投币电话。
这是两个原始的Google服务器。你一个叫做“软板架”。
看看这些讨厌的数据中心……
好主意……把这些乱七八糟的电缆塞到地底下——“眼不见,心不烦”。
这是如何把电视,DVD播放器,XBOX360,环绕音响系统,电脑,电话,PS2,以及任何插到墙里面的东西接到你屋子里的一个接口。真是杰作。
这是电缆混乱!对于要维修这堆东西的家伙,我感到同情。
真该死……
事实上这堆垃圾看起来有点酷。
现在我们来看看世界上最可笑的一些输电线。我认为在这堆电缆的设计上没什么计划。
这是一个家伙在修电线,他甚至没穿鞋。哦……这是完全安全的。
这堆电缆中还能再塞得下什么吗。
谈谈这堆乱七八糟的东西。但愿它们不是活的!
我想曼谷有必要重新考虑一下它的电线设施问题。
当心脚下——头等水平的带电电线。
韩国汉城街头一角的“快乐电缆”。
下面是覆盖这些繁忙城市街道的一些美丽的电缆篷。
对于这样紊乱的败笔我还能说什么呢——它几乎自己说明了自己。
这里还有一些能够激起你食欲的意大利面条。
“独特”的家庭办公室……
那么如何清理你那乱七八糟的电缆呢?有一个快速的方法,叫做“一柜两区”。不错的工作者。
你是否也曾不得不在类似混乱的电缆计划下工作?是否你自己也为乱七八糟的计算机电缆而烦恼?是否在你的家庭影院背面也有令你头痛的混乱的电视电缆?在下面留下你的评论……
