This is kind of obscure and of interest to just a few who had worked for Pacific Bell at Anaheim stadium. This picture is of the patch panel used for the Rams home games. It provided connections for landline phones to the locations listed. This is down in the basement of Anaheim Stadium (or whatever they are calling it now days).

I can't believe they haven't ripped this stuff out! It is very antiquated and should be in a museum. BTW, 4wire is a type of copper circuit that provided a data path. They are still in use today although fiber optics are slowly replacing them.

Is this a recent picture, or is it a golden oldie?

Ha!! Tip and ring baby!! I have worked as a network engineer since the late 90s when I started with a CLEC in the Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) territory. I remember 2 and 4 wire connections. Super cool pic. Brings back memories.

Yes... You'd think that would be long gone by now - especially in a populated area...
Still doing network engineering myself... The last mile is rapidly becoming fiber everywhere....
