Electrical Inspection Wall Of Shame

[TonyR]

Probably safer than sticking with that Federal Pacific.

Hopefully they’re just jumpers to a new panel that’s less susceptible to burn your house down

Santa Clara County, California government facilities (bus maintenance yards, public works yards, agency engineering buildings, etc.) were filled with Federal Pacific panels and breakers from the 60's and 70s'. From '79 to '92 I hated working in any building that had them....when you'd open a breaker to shut down a circuit to replace an exhaust fan or repair some 277VAC highbay lighting, etc. there was a 6 in 10 chance the breaker would not allow a re-close to energize the circuit when you were finished. Also had a few that would trip but not open the circuit. I believe all this contributed to them initially losing their UL certification and ultimate exit from the circuit breaker business.

I am sure it isn't CCA wiring so it's fine LOL

I have to wonder... is each bundle going to a single location (respectively)? Or is this someone's answer to PoE... when a PoE switch is not available?

It's the answer to FoE. Flames over Everything.

Here is the antithesis to this entire thread....

I went the opposite direction and yanked my doorbell and transformer out, then put RJ-45 ends on the cat3 cable to run PoE to a Reolink doorbell cam.

Weird that a finished house with conduit to the doorbell didn't have a doorbell installed at the time of construction.

My "doorbell" is a Hubitat app, run off of either camera ID or exterior motion sensor that plays the doorbell from "The Jetsons" when someone approaches. A lot easier and zero wiring. And no ugly box on the wall (why are doorbell chimes all so damn ugly?).
