Then maintenance happens.

I take great delight
in messing up someone's neat and tidy cable management when I make a change.

Cable ties?
No. Do it with lacing cord, proper old school.

Waxed lacing cord
Yeah I used to use that too.
Curse you for uncovering those repressed memories of wire wrap and repairing mainframe backplanes.
I feel old...

I was lacing up a cable form last night
I've been tidying stuff up on my Strowger phone exchange.
Lacing twine can still be bought from RS

Wowsers I am impressed.. maybe I should have to show this to my client next time he wires up his server again. Last time he requested that I just dremmel holes in the unit instead to run cables through...

Look like beautiful new installations.
Just wait until one unit needs replacing, and the whole thing will look like a rat's nest in no time!

These are the back of the rack.
It's easy to keep the back of the rack tidy - the cables never move and they can all be cut to exactly the right length.
The patch panel on the other side probably looks like an explosion in a spaghetti factory.

Whatever happened to
exception patching? Krone were flogging this at one point for voice and data too.
Where everything was meant to be default hard wired and you only put in a patchlead to change the default.
Didn't use RJ45 at the patch panel however...

I just want a packet of needles and some pliers
Push the needle in, clip off the bit that shows as close as possible to the cable.

My band played in a Rio favela a few years ago.
The wiring was not quite the same quality!
