Of course Facilities would remove foreign cabling that crosses firewalls or floors, this is how fire gets across building compartments. It's more baffling that they didn't reach out to the hackers and help them lay cable that conforms to code. Sometimes you run into EH&S types who prefer to "enforce" standards instead of "uphold" them, and that should be a red flag and a signal to run into the other direction. (Ask how I know.)
- spiritplumber 4y agoIn uni we were unhappy with the 10Mbps wiring that was in the engineering lab building and took it upon ourselves to replace it with cat5, which was what was current at the time. We did the job over a weekend, informed IT the following Wednesday, they said "thanks but no thanks", then we clarified that it had already been done and was already running. Never got an answer but they left it alone. We also replaced our wifi access points with the ones from the law library when they got the nicer ones, but that was entirely covert :)
