Hey OP, or anyone else... I'm just curious, how do you get into a job that lets you do work like this??

Edit: I’m asking because I’d love to be able to have a job where I can do something like this but I don’t know what kind of job that would be, or how you would get into it

Find work for a MSP or private IT company. I work for a MSP on the voice side and I run cable for voice and data now. Wasn’t something I was told I was going to do in the beginning as a regular thing, only a once in a while and I love it. So there’s something out there for ya

Are there really that many companies that will let you spend the hours necessary to get that kind of perfection? Serious question.

u/bleezylmfao 2d ago

It comes with time and asking questions. I learned mostly when doing jobs of this scale and then performed my first panel after a while up to 24 runs for small office.

A good place to start would be to look up low voltage contractors or any company that provides data cabling for networking or cameras. I’ve worked at MSPs where we subcontracted out running cables for our clients. Running cable is a physical job and you’re squeezing into a lot of tight spaces. OPs picture is the reward of a lot of hard work

Low voltage/sound (sound program (communications) vs inside wireman (lighting and power)) in the IBEW union. I do this work but not this good. Should check it out, maybe your local offers the sound program (not every local has sound).

Cable companies have quite a bit of turnover due to the stress that puts on people's bodies and a lot of them don't pay very well.

They would be a good place to start. They usually will train.

I work in a tv station as an engineer and do work like this because we install all of our own equipment.

Someone stole my 25ft purple cable and I’m really very upset about it. I’d love to find a pink one so people would leave my shit alone
