Hey chaps needing some thoughts on this
I have the pleasure to re-arrange this naturally evolved networking rack (and some more) and want to properly re-do it, yet lack experience. I already cut down on anything unnecessary, but now lack inspiration on how to arrange it.
Telephone patch panel Analog? patch panel Fiber patch panel Telephone patch panel to different floor Telephone patch panel Telephone patch panel Patch panel 24P Switch - will be replaced w/ 24p/4sfp 16P+8 Fiber - will be replaced w/ 24p/4sfp ISP #1 Fiber modem Fiber patch panel ISP ISP #2 Fiber modem ISP #2 Fiber modem backup WAN 24P Switch 8P Switch -> distributes WAN ISP #2 to Watchguard (mounted in different rack, will be moved to this network rack) AND Sophos cluster a few devices of a client that has its own firewall
my approach would probably be:
ISP stuff top, firewall next, patch panels, switches, client stuff
I'd love to get these but I dont think they will fit (8.4 depth, enclosure only has ~10cm to the door). Big side verticals obviously wont fit https://www.fs.com/products/64186.html
any other ideas?
P.S. any ideas how to route cables to the next server rack next to it? It used to be a massive tangled mess lying on the ground, which i cut down to a single cable by installing a switch in the rack itself - do I just add a conduit to protect it or are there some kind of top - cable trays that I simply havent seen yet?
