Neat tool, I try to get 0.10m patch cables these days and go PP, Switch, PP and flood patch, I dont like cables down the back or sides of the switches as they more often than not vent their heat in those spaces.

Best video I've seen that actually shows how patch panels work in practice. Didn't realise there was that interface at the back that your twisted pairs went into until now.

Nice looking cabinet. However, I have several suggestions. First, do not use zip ties. Second, you are putting equipment in the cabinet randomly, without taking care of U units. Distances between those square holes are there for a reason. Between each U unit, which consists of 3 square holes, there is narrow interspace. Between holes which are part of certain U unit, there is wider interspace. All pieces of equipment that you have installed has a height of 1U unit, and they have two holes on each side that will fit with top and bottom holes of U unit. If you will not install equipment exactly into U units you will have problems with screws that will not screw. This problem will be even more serious when you will be installing rack servers with rack rails that will not fit because of rails' bolts that will not overlap with rack holes. Later you will have to leave spaces just like in the video, to make things straight again.

Def. should use zip ties. If you use Velcro, some lazy asshole WILL undo it "just for a minute" and in a year, it'll look like a rats nest. Only the most outrageous asshole would cut off all those zip ties to add/remote a cable, though. Velcro is just too big a temptation for the lazy.

Good job! 2 suggestions I could make. Use flush cutter instead of scissor to cut zip tye.. otherwise the small sharp plastic left can cut someone badly! Also you should install equipments in theirs respecting U, do not left single hole at top and space by 3 holes if needed. installing another equipment will be much easier!

Muchas gracias, muy didáctico!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

thanks for sharing this video - that was cool to watch and gave me some great ideas

Ficou só o ouro!!! Muito bom!!!

Just as a suggestion: do not use zipties. They will likely damage the rubber coat of the cable. Use velcro or something comparable. This also makes it far easier to add/replace/remove cables from the bundle.

Zipties on copper - only being tightened down a REASONABLE amount - are just fine and cause no problem. They will not "likely" damage copper cabling as long as they aren't over-tightened. I WILL give you credit on the point that using velcro makes adding and even removing cable easier. There's that. Velcro is preferred these days but let's not get the facts twisted here, either.

@alphaprot2518

@@cyrylthewolf The facts aren't twisted, because, in order to stay in place at the point you want them, zipties need to be tightened. If you prefer dangling zipties on any place but the place you want them, go for it. Sure, you can put only a necessary amount of force into it, but how many people do this? If your cable management is alright due to the fact, that you carefully put zipties everywhere, that's completely fine (thumps up in this case). But for inexperienced, velcro is just better, e.g. if they need to move the cable trees around.

​@@alphaprot2518 - You said, "do not use zipties". That direction is not justified as zip ties - USED CORRECTLY - are perfectly fine for copper cabling. "zipties need to be tightened" As does velcro... I have no idea what you mean by "dangling zipties" as I don't have that problem. I trip the excess - as is part of the "using it correctly" deal. It's not rocket science. " If your cable management is alright due to the fact, that you carefully put zipties everywhere" Otherwise known as "managing cable". LOL Velcro IS preferable. But there is NOTHING wrong with zipties if used correctly. (Again... Not hard. Doesn't really take 'experience' either. It's a freakin' ziptie.) The point is that you're telling people "do not use zipties" without justification. Say that they're generally preferred - which seems to be accurate these days with so much more fiber hanging about in our data centers/data rooms, sure. But don't discourage it all together. It's still an applicable method.

I think the reason why he used longer patch cables because if you have high-speed internet, the cat6 and cat5e cable shorter than 3 ft often create interference and crosstalk. I have 300 Mbps download speeds. As soon as I plug a cat6 cable shorter than 3 feet, the speed drop to 100 Mbps.

👍 I enjoyed watching, you do excellent work! Only thing I do different...I do not punch-down my cables, I install RJ45 plugs on the cabling and use a keystone bracket & pass-through jacks. Makes trouble shooting much easier...I use bigger cabinets as I install a rackmount UPS along with a rackmount surge protected power strip 😎

Great video!

Nice work machan. Thank you a lot

Veri good!!! I liked this work!

Perfeito bom trabalho.

that looks pretty darn good....NICE!

Great vid!!! Some tips for efficiency during install & as well as over time for maintenance: 1) Velcro not cable ties (both inside and outside of the cabinet) 1.1) Adding extra cables will take forever unless you make a new bundle over time. 2) The cut-off ends of the zip-tie can be very sharp, and cut you, a co-worker or could damage new cabling installed. More reason to use Velcro. 3) Use a strain relief bar behind the patch panel. This allows an easy to access gap between each cable IDC. As you are currently showing, you will work over the cables & have zero room to easily access 1x cable. 4) Rather do not use a traditional patch panel & instead get a patch panel that takes RJ45 inline couplers. Then you just make a standard RJ45 termination VS a punch down. 5) In such a small rack, space is expensive. Rather use very short cables and only occupy 2U vs 4u. 6) Create the service look behind the vertical rails. If you put a device with more depth in there, you might damage the cables. 7) Install a premade RGB strip & leave it on the company colour(s).

Great job man! but i guess if you want to 'teach' good practices just 2 tips.. 1.use hook and loop velcro, it is wider in general and wont pinch the cable, this wont attenuate the UTP signal. 2nd is buy a label printer, your approach might be easy on the eyes(that counts a lot), but could be a nightmare for other techs to figure out which one is which.

This cable management somewhat satisfied my OCD :p

Thanks bro

Great video. Cam someone help me with estimation? I want to as to how many rolls of cables, patch panels are required in a specific project? Any videos on these?

Nice video but noticed that you didn't use the U unit spaces as intended in the rack. Each U space has three square holes represented vertically. The two square holes closest to each other are the division points between each Unit.

Excellent work

Absolutely I cringe when ever I see this. Cable ties are a no no, the other thing never trim cable ties and leave tabs like that they are down right dangerous to any one reaching into the cabinet trust me. In fact some industries don't allow there use period. Hook and eye raps are the go, besides a cable tied bundle may/will fail qualification and or certification seen it before. As for the eye and hook aka velcro you can also buy it in rolls real handy. Great effort just need to lift the game a bit and yes label the cables it happens "someone" moves a cable for testing and it never goes back in the correct slot makes trouble shooting way easier especially years on. :) and do test even the patch leads not unusual to get out of the "bag" failures just saying.

Thanks, good job.

Thank you
