So the exposed wiring that you see is only Cat5/6 and Coax. http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxclark/2326644359/in/set-72157604099267387/ And most of One Wilshire has been converted to datacenter space - and all of that cross connect runs via the MDF/IDF that was put in place. There is a crazy amount of cable running through the walls here. It’s actually deceiving because the fiber is run via interduct or the fiber trays and is not exposed.
