Jake, a sole sysadmin at a hospital, encountered a malfunctioning CT scanner that was unable to display images quickly. Despite lacking training on medical equipment, he investigated the workstation connected to the scanner. He discovered that the connection involved an excessive length of cable spanning several connectors, which led him to realize that the scanner and workstation were unnecessarily linked over 250 meters of cabling. By addressing this cabling issue, he aimed to restore proper functionality to the scanner.
"I realized the CT scanner and the workstation were three meters apart but connected over 250 meters of cable that bounced through four connectors."
"I am not in any way trained on medical machinery," Jake told On Call, so he started by applying his IT eye and found a CAT-5 cable snaking away from the scanner and into a wall connector."
