One day I might sneak into the apps room with a camera and take some photos of the cabling in there.

LAN, power and audio in one teeny room makes for hell. Oh and there is some lovely Krone in there too. The distances involved make for some interesting cabling - there are two monitors in the studio but VGA isnt good enough over the required distance... so there is a box that splits each individual core of VGA into 15 seperate BNC connections, for 30 coaxial cables to be fed through to the studio and reassembled.

Then there is the audio patch bay, allowing the output from pretty much anything in the whole place to be piped to anywhere else. no small amount of cabling involved there! I might measure the trunks of cable next time I am down there, pretty sure that they come to about 10" thick... none of it labelled.
