Agreed. Many of the suggestions by others are appropriate for a larger install, but unnecessary here. Most of the comments are no doubt from those used to working in a commercial wiring closet with hundreds of connections, not 12. I've been at both ends of the spectrum and the design considerations are different. Since there are only about a dozen connections, even a patch panel is optional, but nice to have. Good wiring management really comes into play when you have a lot of wires. I think some of these people would be saying you need a rack, PDU, and patch panel for 3 connections to an integrated wifi router.

He can configure it however he likes but HE SHOULD NOT BE INSTRUCTING OTHERS IN THAT CASE. This isn't best practices which is required when you claim to show how it's done right.

I learned more from the comments on this video than the actual video. Anyways appreciate the effort put in it.

I do this type of work professionally. While I'm sure this will work fine for your home environment, when you are ready to take it to the next level... 1. Use cage nuts 2. Don't skip a single hole in a square hole rack. If you want to leave a gap for whatever reason, leave a full 1U (3 holes). Square hole racks don't have even hole spacing - there's a reason for that. 3. That keystone panel has a cable guide on it to help with cable management. The extra cable should be coiled and zip tied behind. 4. Patch panel should go to the very top. It has no indicator lights to see and even in a high density 48-port 2U panel it can be at arms length above you and still manageable. 5. Unless you are in a very high density rack where inches of cable matter, don't waste the time and money on building your own patch cables. Patch cables are cheap, have molded strain relief on both ends, and are typically better attached than what you can do with a hand crimper.. 6. Use a 6" extension cable to plug wall warts into a PDU so you don't lose open receptacles. 7. If you are going to do any more cabling than this, spend just a bit more money and buy the quick terminate keystones. There are a lot of companies that make them now and punching down all 8 wires with the pull of one handle is a game-changer.

The config top to bottom I was sketching was Router, POE switch, two keystone patch panels, second non-POE switch, two shelves for backup internet equip, and power control unit. Logic was to place the router at the top since it runs the hottest compared to the other pieces of equipment and would place it near the vent for optional fan if needed. Also, the patch panels sandwiched by switches because I've read you don't want patch panels crossing equipment. Figured if a current wall jack that currently does not require power injection I could move patch cable into POE switch. It would cross the patch panel but not equipment. Your opinion?

@@mcraw4d Not super sure what you mean, but in reference to active equipment up the top, it doesn't really matter especially if it's an open rack or has a decent push-pull fan system. However if it's an enclosed rack where heat will get trapped at the top, it would be recommended to have the hot router seated a little lower. I haven't had much experience with this stuff being an electrician by trade, so have only done the occasional rack fitout (which is definitely an interesting process) but almost always you will have passive items like PDU's, UPS managers, patch panels etc up higher and active equipment throughout the rack, usually with patch panels dotted throughout along with some cable management duct, or brush. It's totally up to you, you just need to think about what's easiest to work with now and in the future, heat and airflow, and where the cables are all actually going. You'd best ask somebody who does this stuff for a living if you want some decent advice.

Thank you so much for this video and the links in the description! I've always been hesitant to actually buy anything without assurance that it would be compatible. I used your recommendations and some of the tips from the comments to finally buy something I've been wanting for awhile, but recently found a need for (IP security cameras). I've run two cables into the basement for a central area to run to additional areas around the house, and this is perfect for that location.

Those clean cable runs are what I hope to achieve when I make my rack system in the future. Good job on that.

Thanks for sharing. Neat work for home network. As long as no package drop, any cable length is fine.

Great job on your HOME network! I hope it works well for you.

Thanks bro, very simple and clear idea. Keep it up bro.

Cable management is ok for home networks. But commercial environments Patch panel and switch should have more separation so cables can be run horizontally and down the rack tethered together. So that patch panel labels are visible. To make diagnosis to network easier.

so clean and easy for the eyes, great cabling method sir more vids please for more learning. Sir request, pls have a FTTH demo. thanks God bless.

nice, nice. i have 2 catalyst 2960 in my basement. i think is time to bring them up. AGAIN, EXCELLENT TUTORIAL.

i like how the comments in here are constructive. Great vid - definitely aiming for a setup like yours.

Back up battery would be a good idea. It will protect your switch, PDU, and server.

Very beautiful description , thanx dear

Learned many things from this video Thanks 👍🏻

A good attempt, but I agree with some of the commenters here. I cringed when I saw that you didn't use any cage nuts to mount the equipment. As well, you didn't align the equipment with the holes in the rack. That looks like a 6U wall mounted rack, three holes per single U. I agree that the patch panel was a good choice, but typically it should always go on the top U of the rack, followed by a horizontal cable management tray. You should have used 3' patch cables so you could use a different port on the switch if it goes dead. (It can happen, even with Cisco gear!) After you mounted the switch, you could have used the floor of the rack to hold your non-rack mountable equipment, rather than placing your equipment ontop of the switch. While you can do that, it makes it considerably more difficult to replace the switch, should it fail. The equipment you chose isn't bad, but I would have chosen a Cisco RV320 Router/Firewall instead.

The single core cable isn't the best for patch cords. The multi core wires brings less mechanical stress on the connector. Too short patch cords put so much stress to the conectors too. Pre build patch cords are really inexpensive. I recommend you to put the Switch on top, 1U cable organizer, 1U patch panel, 1U cable organizer, 1 rack self and on the bottom the power strip.

If you're only going to use two rack screws, at least use the bottom ones. This way it will pivot on the bottom edge which lets the rack ears sit against the rail. With only the top screws, the rack ears are trying to move away from the rail, so all the force is taken in those two screws and the top edge of the rack ears.

Couple things I would have done different: 1) Install the cage nuts in the rack. 2) Patch panel up top, its never going to move, ever. 3) Use a shelf or the bottom of the cabinet as a shelf for not rack mount equipment. 4) The tight radius of your patch cables surely doesn't comply with standards, and you are screwed if you ever had to use another port. 5) Consider using a couple keystones for your media PC and modem hookup, that way everything goes to the patch panel and you don't have to tuck any wires back behind as you are up there. 6) If you haven't already, map out where your patch panel connections go in case you need to troubleshoot or want to set up VLANs at a later date. 7) A small UPS might be a good idea. Overall decent effort. Definitely looks cleaner than the cluster f I have running, but with just a few tweaks there would be little if anything to fault.

2) there are different opinions on that. I personally prefer any front facing power connections (which are often handy for home racks) up top and patchpanel beneat it. (I personally have: Power A Passthrough Power B SFP+ switch (dedicated) passthrough 1GbE switch A (with a few extra SFP+ ports for redundancy of some important devices on the SFP+ switch) patchpanel 1GbE switch B It's not ideal, but I have a lot of U's in height but a lack of access from the back, so having everything from the front makes maintenance easier. It also puts the patchpanel and switches on eye height, which is nice. What I wanted to make clear: The location of the patchpanel depends on your needs and setup. However, it should always be above any servers.) 3) preferably just grab rackmount gear. Switches are not that more expansive rackmount and almost every PC an easily be turned into a rackmount by just putting it in another case (including a router). 4) Standards, any link to a standard about bend radius for these? 5) The problem is bigger, he should've terminated the in-wall cables into keystones (not plugs) and should indeed have used passthrough plugs for the devices. I do like using pass-through plugs in patchpanels connect devices though, it's nice and clean... Till about 10 devices, then it becomes cleaner to do it differently. 6) This is so understated... PLEASE EVERYONE document it. I cant second this more. 7) Depends on your location. Some countries don't have frequent outages. I myself unplugged all UPS's in my rack. The poweroutages once every 30-40 years(!) here, was not worth the 25-40W upkeep they took.

Point no.5, you mean that everything goes to the switch and not the patch panel right?

I would not have done my own batch cables, especially using wall-rated solid-core cabling. The value of time invested in making all cables typically does not win over purchasing patch cabling at the length you need.

Nice sir..very professional..

Good video! I like that you made your own patch cables. And you should definitely use cage nuts and It does look like the top 2 racks are slightly off and not level. And like others have said the patch panel should go up top. I have OCD so I noticed it right away but otherwise really good job.

Clean install. Most do not recommend using hard cable for patch cables. But it looks very good.

Where is the internet coming from: in all likelihood, the internet is coming in with the cable COAX, he is probably uplinking the firewall (wherever it is) to it, and then go the patch switch via patch panel. Why connect the media server to the router instead of the patch panel: patch panels are only for (should only be used) for remote devices, it make little practical sense to do it the other way. Addon wifi: the MikroTik firewall supports wifi via dongle or adapter. 2 wires on the right: he is using what's called a LAG, link aggregation group to boost the speed, so long as the switch and router are LAG compliant, they essentially double the uplink speed (instead of 1GbE he would get 2GbE.)
