Terminated Properly aims to be the best place on the internet for technical bloopers from the low-voltage, A/V, security, and network trades.
We collect the mistakes, head-scratchers, and unforgettable service calls that are funny, painful, and educational — not to shame anyone, but to help techs learn through real-world experience.
Inspired by the open-source spirit of sharing knowledge, this site is a community field journal where technicians pass along lessons that never make it into manuals.
Because sometimes the best way to learn how to do it right…
is seeing how badly it was done wrong.
“It’s gonna need some help.”
Our Goals
Terminated Properly exists to document, preserve, and share the real-world knowledge of the lowvoltage, A/V, security, and network installation trades.

• Passing along hard-earned lessons that never make it into manuals
• Highlight practical tips, tools, and methods that make the job easier
• Creating a place where technicians of all levels can contribute and learn
