Hello everyone,
I've been looking for some tips on cable management.
To give you an idea of what I am dealing with. We have 3 rows of patch panels of 24 ports follow by a 48 port switch. Rinse and repeat for a rough numbers of over 150 cables.
The basic way we are doing it right now is by splitting down the middle velcro 4 8 12 from the patch and 12 24 from the switch then the cables are passed inside a rack. Patch > vertical rack > switch. Similar to this picture http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2189/2215694485_ec3583babd_o.jpg *not my actual closet
This would be easy to manage if there was no changes made to the cabling but because of a lot of moves being done some cables gets moved every week. Having a lot of velcro would mean spending a lot of time removing and putting the velcro back and I feel that people would get lazy and just say fuck the velcro to save some time.
Do you have any tips on this? Ive heard that whenever adding new cables putting them behind the bundle might help but I feel it will eventually make things messy.
Thanks for your replies!
