While most of the buildings on the NC State campus are wired in accordance with more recent wiring standards, some of the infrastructure is still in need of upgrade. Some of this is due to the penalty for starting early. The earliest structured building wiring systems were installed on campus around 1988, before most universities and private sector companies were even considering the merits of organized, structure cabling systems. Every time new electronics were purchased, spaces had to be rewired. To help illustrate how far the practices and technology have come, it can be interesting to see some of the good , bad , and obsolete of the communications infrastructure installed at NC State.
