Right!! Had me pissed off! After all cables were ran, customer added a few more lines wanted me just to go off the last number.. 31- 109- 32 🤣🤣 wouldve been a nightmare for the IT dept.. so I did what I thought would be best for them.. what would you have done? Open to suggestions 😀💪🏽

Number them by 10s at the outset instead of 1s?

Thanks, for the suggestion. Can you give me an example

When you first label them, don't go 1-2-3-4-5, go 10-20-30-40-50. That way, adding one in the middle doesn't disrupt the whole numbering scheme, there's room for additions.

That's more useful when you know for certain that you're going to need to expand; it's of limited usefulness in something like this where it's configured once and then never touched (except when the customer is a dumb-dumb, lol.)

Velcro work needs help. Why aren't they perfectly aligned? Crap work. :)

The velcro you see that are slightly up and down are where they're strapped to the frame.. take it up with the manufacturer of the cabinet lmao

Or use cable tray.

Handwritten numbers is an epic fail, buy a label maker

I think that was an afterthought

Looks good but why not use cable sock? Not split sock - that stuff looks like ass.

u/Bulky-Feed-4396 Jul 25 '26

I have no clue what you're talking about.. cable sock? Split sock? are you talking about the velcro? Thats what I used to dress.. can you show me an example? Maybe if it looks better with it, I will use

Need someone like this to wire my houses 20 year old cbus system to new and updated

Looks like the customer wants equipment between the patch panels. Consider cable supports to keep permanent links horizontal and split down the middle. IOW, bundles coming from the left to patch the left, the ones from the right to the right. Makes it easier to install & remove equipment without touching the permanent links.

Is punch down still common there? Kinda thought most used some form of keystone connector

u/Bulky-Feed-4396 Jul 27 '26

Yeah, both actually.. sometimes we get jobs that the customer wants jacks on both ends

Can you actually rack a switch in that top open U?

u/Bulky-Feed-4396 19d ago

The top U is for fiber tray
