My company would blast me and rightly so if my cables looked like a sack of shit. When u visit a site and see shocking cabling u always take note of who the company was and when u see brilliant cabling u do the same. So many electrical companies used to get the sparkies to do the structured cabling and it turned out terrible.
Great job to the team that did this. Hope your management team recommended a bonus for you. This is beyond just doing your job. It’s passion and love for what you do. I absolutely love people who go above and beyond. Thank you for doing an amazing job.
I've done cable management this way many many times but I have also done cable management using wax string = the old telephone company way = as requested by the customer.. Either way looks nice but zip ties are by far easier and faster.
Just remove the plug, thread the cable through the clamps and thread in a new one then add a plug. And it likely wont brake because its not being bent at a stressfull angle AND its easier to find it and remove it than doing it from a spaghetti explosion kind of situation.
Nice to see pride in someone's work. I used to work for Southwest Communications back in the '90s and that's how our work would look. If you were sloppy, you would be out of a job quickly.
Blitz K Well, copper is not as bad as people think. We have a 10Gb copper network at work, and it is great. Your cable broke? Well, use this CAT5e, no 10Gb for a while, but it works.
Brings back fond memories to when I was a wireman at GEC. We had to make them neat like this and all wires were "formed" at terminal blocks too. Didnt use cable ties, all had to knotted with binding.
I've seen a LOT of great cable work and done a fair amount myself, but I have never seen anything this good. You sir are an artist. I suspect your OCD therapy bills must be outrageous.
I used to do this in Data Centres, very time consuming and not that easy but rewarding being told your work is very good and seeing it neat and on display. Now cable sock is the way forward as it saves bags of time, which no one gets on jobs these days....excellent work👍🏼
Thirty odd yrs back when commercial phone systems were still heavily "wired out" like this, we used to do work like that. Cabling is an Art. Absolutely fantastic work by whoever did this.
To everyone saying, "It's going to be a really crappy job replacing a cable." A quality ethernet cable, which data centers use, have a VERY LOW failure rate. They are just as reliable as the electric cables run throughout a building. So, in reality it's a RARE occurrence and in the 50-60 years when they do begin to experience widespread failures(and that is just a possibility they could last for hundreds of years). The entire server room would be have been overhauled, multiple times, with new servers and technologies, including cabling, anyways. So basically everyone's point, who said that, is MOOT.
+Philip Horsley Exactly. I have been doing data center infrastructure for 10 years and can count on one hand the number of cables that have "gone bad". (Though sysadmins will go there first every damn time). And that is for patch cords. This is punched down trunking which, once tested after install, should NEVER have a problem.
rats eat cables, random contractors can cut cables, there might be a cable drop that needs to be relocated that does not have enough slack....lots of things go wrong
Joshua - in my experience a datacentre with rats probably wouldn't have neat cabling anyway; or many customers. And besides, this is infrastructure cabling, it's so rare to ever have to touch it once installed. Even if a fault develops on a port all you'd do is patch to the next spare.
And they probably already have some redundant drops in there. I mean, even in small offices it's a good idea to run every drop in pairs... Cable is cheap
The radius bends when the cables come out of the bundle and into the patch panel are a thing of beauty! This is what a fantastic job looks like. I know some people will say "but zip ties!" but truthfully in a DC core you shouldn't be screwing around with your cable layout. Plus, the likelihood of having a cable fail in this sort of setup is vanishingly small.
That is awesome! Not allot of people can relate or appreciate something like this until you have actually worked on it. This looks machine strung! I wish our racks were this tight. Awesome video 👍🤓
Wow!! What an amazing installation. One of the best ones I've ever seen. Only problem with it is that it should be secured with Velcro and not tie wraps.
Hats of to the team for this masterpiece! I'am a data center technician myself, I've never seen such an organized and precise dressing as this. My only question is, did you cut the ends when you reached the rack to get the exactly needed lenght?? It looks like its prefect down until the last centimeters, my mind is blown tbh...
+hellterminator Like the copper is suddenly going to "go bad"??? That's about as "never going to move" as it gets. And none of it looks over tightened. I'd rather see cable lacing, but that's such a lost art.
This is an excellent job my only comment is to stop using tie wraps. its OK to use them to train your cables but shouldn't be used long term. one small diagonal clip and its a razor blade. Most if not all central offices ban the use of tie wraps (fire+safety hazard). I used a lot of wax twine but now Velcro seems to be what all the "data" people use nowadays, so I too secede to the Velcro.
And then the vice president of eliminating extra personnel stated, "cables going to the left side must be a different color from those going to the right side".

I'm sure the front and the network drop cover plate has a label. You really don't need to label cables. It's a lot of extra work for little benefit. There are tools that will allow 2 techs to walk through the building identifying port numbers as they go and label on the fly -and you don't have to dress your cabling based on any particular order.
This is nothing short of stunning work. I have to say, that if you DID have to replace a cable, it would be WAY easier to do it in a nice neat situation, than a rat's nest. Are those 10 gig cables? they look too big to be cat 5 or 6. You my friend have amazing talent, patience, and pride. THIS is what pride in your work is all about. I'm awe struck. This is going in my favorites folder. *applause* *standing ovation* Take a bow my friend, and then another.
While a rat's nest is unsightly and a nightmare to unravel, this can also be a nightmare to unravel as well if a cable did go faulty or some slack was needed for whatever reason - and a time-consuming nightmare to reclose too. Aesthetics isn't the only important parameter.
Hard to believe there are 1320 drops within the 300m maximum standard length. What kind of facility has this many drops within that range? Either way, very nicely done.
he aint a poor sod .. he did it the right way ... the poor sod is the guy who has to take the jumble and make it work ... that takes forever this setup 1 day for all the wires to be tested .. a jumble a week IF youre lucky
well what matters is the overall amps,but i just looked up current carried in CAT cables and it was surprisingly high :O regarding UHF... there is no change in polarity in signal wires, just voltage levels going higher or lower. so as long as the cables arent coiled there shouldnt be any problem. cables are also all twisted. meaning nearly all outgoing or incoming EMF is canceled out. you may not know this but CAT5 cables arent even shielded BECAUSE they are twisted pairs.
1. There is a polarity change because all signals are differential (tx+/tx- to rx+/rx-). 2. Pairs are twisted so that interference is equal on both lines (tx+ and tx-). The differential result will eliminate the interference. 3. The difference in category has nothing to do with shielding but mostly cable gauge to increase usable cable frequency. The cable type (UTP, FTP, STP, SFTP ... etc) define the presence and type of shielding.
