  • Hello everyone this is Hafiz with you and welcome to my channel.. As you can see this video is about building a network cabinet from scratch it is very important to build your network cabinet properly. If you don’t have a good network cable management strategy in place, not only your racks will look unorganized, but it can make maintenance more complicated, so i recorded this video from scratch so you can have an idea how to professionally setup network cabinet.

    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.

      @@user-nh3gu1ge3d you underestimate the outrageous assholishness of people with access to the wiring closet, and their lack of a bag of zip ties.

      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.

    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.

    • @cptcrogge

      @cyrylthewolf 5 лет назад +37

      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
      @alphaprot2518 5 лет назад +6

      @@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.

    • @cyrylthewolf
      @cyrylthewolf 5 лет назад +12

      ​@@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.

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!

    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).

      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.

    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.
