Beats me as to how that may have come about. I for one have no idea.

We do, however have some low-voltage copper that runs from the
building's telephone MPOE across the basement room to that back mesh
window, where it snakes up the building into the DJ Booth.
The junction box that is down there is very gingerly mounted. We
should be careful with it in the future. This was placed down there to
try out the idea of mounting a modem down there, but it proved to be
too difficult.
