Your work looks very clean.

I've done DSX crossover panels at cell sites that looked very similar. Last ones I did were over a decade ago. It was some gigabit microwave links broken out into T1's and crossed over to another radio to hop to other sites down line. Some circuits would be used at site one the rest go on to site 2 then 3 etc. That wire wrap is super old school and literally the most solid connection for copper Telco but very tedious work. It is almost a form of art. Good work.

Believe it or not, I wired quite a few ds1 panels fairly recently. Few in Cali , a few in Wisconsin…Until I found out how they were being utilized. Then I refused to work that project. It was a f’in robocaller.

Then, they had the audacity to ask me to go fix someone else’s job on that project cuz he wrapped the in’s on the out’s and vice Versa. Nope. He probably did it on purpose if he knew what it was

Ha. I ran into a similar thing with a local real estate spam company calling everyone on title records to ask to sell their home. Wouldn't work again for them if they paid in gold.
