Data Center Cabling Tips and Tricks - Ideas

Dear r/networking - I am wondering what your current cabling tips and tricks are for the dc.

I wanted to get other peoples setups and make a final combined list of recommendations. I am always looking to test new things that come up. Looking for any new good fiber to cat6 cable labeling.

Recommendations for

-Fiber cabling

-Fiber labeling

-Cat6 cabling

-Cat 6 labeling

​

What my setup is below :

Patchsee cables for the dc, replacing all panduit for them. The light cables are awesome. Had an engineer join the team about 2 years ago and he recommended them from a big Medical company. They do take several weeks to come but they have been life savers.
