At my previous job the IDFs would have a patch panel/switch/patch panel/switch stacking. This allowed us to use 6-inch patch cables and everything looked pretty clean.
At my present employer, the put all the patch panels on top of the IDFs and switch stacks below. Then they run like 7ft cables to patch everything in and it looks like a cluster!
Recently, we had a vendor ask about angled patch panels but suggested the same setup as they have here, patch panels on top and run cable down the sides to connect the switches.
I prefer the way my former employer set up everything. Is that the wrong way? Is there best practice I should be following?
