Network distribution box
I want to emphasize right now that I did not do this to the in-built network distribution box. The -- I'll call them "technicians" -- do not route and label cables to the standards to which I am accustomed. I had to ring-out many of the cables myself to determine where they were going. (You can seem my masking-tape tags on some the cables.)
If you look into the box, you'll see that someone has spliced-in a power bar (which is sitting on top of the box) by cutting off its plug and tapping into the mains, holding the whole thing together with a small amount of electrical tape. The same person installed the ADSL line-splitter. Not really a five-9's installation, but it'll do.
Junction boxes on the left (mounted on the door) seen from top to bottom are: telephone patch box, telephone patch extention and 10/100Mbps switch. The blue cables coming off the switch are my patch cords that are connected to a router/internet gateway. I use the 10/100 switch to distribute network to the slower devices in the house.
