A place for sharing links to good-looking cabling (primarily data centers) that could be considered art (or porn) to the network junkies of Reddit.

Subreddit Rules

tl;dr: IF IT'S NOT NICE CABLING, EARN A BAN

  1. IF IT LOOKS LIKE SPAGHETTI, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE IT. (Earns a long ban)

  2. SEE RULE #1

  3. Please don't post non-cableporn stuff, or other low-effort content. NO MEMES

  4. Image posts only, text posts can be directed to /r/cableadvice.

  5. Small DIY projects belong in /r/cablemanagement or /r/homelab

  6. Images contained in this album of common re-posts, should not be posted, and will be removed.

  7. Reposts of any content posted within the last 6 months or in the top 100 posts on this sub will be removed.

  8. Conduit / tubing isn't cable porn.

  9. Images only, no video posts.

While you are welcome to post photos of setups you didn't create, if the photos are of your own work, it's worth including a quick write up of what's going on for those curious.

Smaller projects are okay as long as they're exceptionally clean and interesting, and you include some explanation. A good rule of thumb is it should have at least 20 cables. Desktop PCs, your home desk, and similar, will be removed (see rule 5).

Please note we do not accept NSFW material. This is a subreddit that people view and post to from work.

This subreddit is growing constantly, and we encourage active involvement. If you want to see something here that isn't, get in touch with iDemonix or the other mods.

  • /r/conduitporn: If your photo is of conduit, it probably belongs over here!

  • /r/cableadvice: Advice on cabling-related projects, techniques, or products.

  • /r/homelab: If you want to show off something cool you built, but it's not quite sexy enough for this sub, try here.

  • /r/cablemanagement: If it's a picture of the inside of a PC, it probably belongs here.

  • /r/cablefail: In case this sub is too tidy for you.

Working on the high voltage side now. I’ll post that up once I sink the subplates.

Question?

I have noticed this community isn't a fan of using sticky pads. While adding superglue helps temporarily, I admit they don't last forever. Drilling into the door isn't practical. Are there any alternative solutions or suggestions you'd recommend?
