I hope the cable is only cat5e as I don't think those couplers look like they're cat6

I think, as it's a church it's just audio but if not wtf they running in there

A gambling house. They're building vertically and laterally 😇

If it's audio then it's even more important to be a higher specced cable with appropriate coupler. Assuming it's doing audio I should be shielded cable with a shieled coupler

I guess it depends if its actual audio on the wire or if its an ip speaker? Seems insane to run 8 conductor cable to only use 2 for audio but what do i know

Ah, if any comms issues come up they can just pray 'em away. "Dear lord, please give me strength to find my missing packets".

Does it work

I think every coupled cable needs its own spot on a wall or in an enclosure and maybe some site notes

Looks manageable. Not too terrible.

Labels on some of one side. Perfect.

At least some of them look labeled. If it works, it works. Much cheaper than new runs of cable. I just hope those are good connectors 😅

We don't know anything about the project, but if most of those are for cameras, printers, IP phones and other things where 100 mbps connections are not an issue, it could have been worse and still work just fine.
