We typically do loaded 2 post racks with Cat 3k's in 4 or 6 member stacks. We used to do 2' cables and Neat Patches but lately have been doing 6" cables with no organizers (more dense, works pretty well, very easy to trace when vetting documentation). It get us about 6 switches per rack, 100% patched. There's an idea to do chassis based switches in the IDFs now (Cat9400) and I'm interested in hearing from folks on the contrast between the two. Seems like a lot of cables but we can always hire someone to do that. Which do you like more and why? If going chassis, what are some things to keep in mind or avoid?
