Installation Network data Server Rack And cable management 27U cabinet Best Setup For Office or home

Neatness is ok but I am a fan of shorter Patch cables. The setup in the rack seems like it could be improved on to have shorter patches which in my experience is more serviceable.

To every Low Voltage Electrician? Watching this is pure harmony. However, I would negate the Zap Straps for Velcro. But I would be a Liar if I said that I did not too do the same. Instead of Labels? I just use a Sharpie. Hard to get a Punch down tool in those tight space, so glad you got it done in place. :goodvibes:

It’s great to see these cabinet products in action in the field, thank you for your great work😇

Just small Tip: Permament Labels -> First tie over the cable and next bend over the label so that it will additionally secure label from falling of as the cable part will be glued from both sides :D

Great organization congratulations

To those who mention the labeling + patch/switch arrangement: I suspect that this was existing wiring they had to deal with, identify and clean up. Or who knows. And I suspect they needed very specific patch ports to go to specific switches, so the paths are actually all different, it just looks clean. You can't always just jump patch ports 25-48 to switch ports 1-24 and vice versa. Then you have to choose if you keep your patch panels linear (to serially match the wall ports), or patch by function. I'm debating that in my upcoming install though I prefer the latter. Seemed like they possibly did the former.

amazing work! My only comment is that its much faster , cheaper and easier for the next guy that may come to do a work in there to use the standard - patch panel , switch , patch panel. Working this way its much more serviceable and you can use much smaller patch cables.. Other than this amazing!

order, cleanliness, results in a beautiful job, well done, congratulations!

Pretty nice. I am not sure why you would go with smaller port number switches, but maybe the PoE limits were the cause. I think spending a little extra on something with good forced cooling, dual power supply, and 50 ports is way to go almost always, even in smaller setup. It makes less mess, and gives you flexibility later.

Easy work. I did it 1000+ times. Prefer to use shorter patch cables.

Smaller cabinet, have deeper cable managers when using longer patch cables, rather than feeding everything to the side. Looks nice, but defeats the purpose of a cable manager, and screws anyone trying to feed wire through in the future. But looks ok.

You have my full respect!

Great job turning chaos into order.

First use Punch Down Tool, its gonna make your life easier. Second and more important, you are untwisting pairs a bit to much. Its probably gonna pass for cat6, but still, just do it the right way. Also that patch panel is awful, i understand sometimes you have to work with what you are given, but you have nothing to secure your cable to...Otherwise, its very decent job, i would personally go up and then come down on the other side with cables just to leave enough for equipment shuffling in the future (and that's gonna happen for sure). Respect for cable labelling.

Well done 👍

That is one hell of a build out I'm jelly lol.

excellent! marvelous

I am new in this kind of work, and the setup looks very neat and nice, but isn’t it better to have the related patch panels and switches be closer to each other, that way you only use a small cat6 cable to connect them right above each other, that way it will be easier for maintenance later; for example if there’s a problem with one specific cable with this kind of setup you might need to remove lots of cables so you can reach the specified cable but when the switch and panel are right above each other only a small cable needs to be removed or changed, i don’t know what do you think?

Very zen and satisfying video for us tech people

Awesome video, Mate! F'real. I'm going to be doing this for the first time very soon and I feel like after punching down the copper, the little ends will get in hard to clean places, and I'm thinking there must be a cool strategy to ensure that none of those little pieces end up being left behind. Like maybe you could get really good at aiming the debris where you want it to go, or idk. I don't know why I focus on little things like this that aren't really a big problem haha.
