We are moving sites, and have the opportunity for a greenfield redo for our network equipment racks. The current racks at our old site are 2-post Chatsworth with no vertical wire management channels between them, and some bolt-on horizontal wire management. When we build out the new site, I’d like to do a much better job on the racks. What do folks like in 2-post racks with wire channels between them? I need one rack for network equipment, and 2-3 for 48-port patch panels.
I also have a Cat4510 with 6 48-port 1G modules and two empty slots in this site; was thinking of pre-wiring 8x48-port patch panels to the switch so that the cables into the switch are all pre-wired and neatly bundled, and they never have to be messed with when we make moves/adds (did this in another site, and greatly helped to alleviate the typical wire mess into the chassis switch.) This would take another patch panel rack to implement, then switch port interconnects to the floor jacks would be patch panel to patch panel. Good idea, or a waste of rack and panels? (I just can’t seem to make my co-workers run cables neatly...)
