A common way I often see in videos on server racks is to have patch panels above and below a switch. Patch cables from the patch panel above go into the top row of ports of the switch and patch cables from the patch panel below go into the bottom row of ports on the switch
Im building my first home lab and I learned some valuable basic tricks and practices from this video. Thank you! Not so much a fan of the direct to switch plugs though, I feel a second patch panel would have been nicer here.
Use Velcro! I understand wire ties are cheap but if you are building a rack, it is industry practice to use Velcro because your track constantly changes over time, lace your wires, use Shielded cat6 if using POE (Power over ethernet), only reason to use zip ties, especially white ones, is if you have a Plenum Rated ceiling. Meaning for (Fire Rated). Also, on your drop to the rack, use a stock. It's a black webbing material that works like a Chinese finger trap and looks amazing coming into the rack. Hope this helps
@@JD2Q2Q Well there are wire ties that you can reuse. But Velcro is still better because wire ties can actually damage your cables if you over-tighten them
Also putting the patch panel very far to the switch. Why not put it next to each other and use shorter cables for better cable management? Wanted to display cable management skills by using TOO MUCH cables 🤣🤣🤣
I can clearly see that they've tried this a few times. Enough times to find out that it's easy to straighen the wires out with a plastic surface and put them in a plug. They haven't done it enough times to realise that it can be done in a litteral second with a simple tug with your fingers, no tool required. 😇
Why use a STP keystone and Rj45 if u don’t use the shielded cat6a or cat7a??? You are Just throwing out money on the keystone and Rj45 if you use UTP cable
maybe budget constraint and could not get enough or proper patch panels, maybe those jacks were just lying around, maybe different owner different requirements, it is what it is. We all wanna do things the proper way, use patch panels for all etc but things like this happen in real world all the time. Maybe they din't have knowledge, they could terminate BNC on patch panels too, since they mentioned directly plugging AV links (which was unnecessary). I can't defend them on the mounting though lol. It is what it is.
@@bassman87 That I get. We do security cameras and have done a separate panel and switch. Even phones too. But if it's all data or data and phones on the same network?
There are so many things wrong with this, I have no idea where to begin… but let’s start with: The weight of the loaded rack being only being supported by the flimsy hinges, The lack of patch panels and direct connect being used, No cable grooming, Being installed above an inwardly opening doorway, Power distribution units and power management?, Fire stopping??, Heat rises, the lack of effective cooking, Installers were barefoot!! If this was my construction site the entire installation would have been defected and the installers kicked off site. I’m a 20+ year telecommunications and data centre specialist and site manager, I know what I’m talking about, and this is a shocking design and install.
you forgot STP keystones and STP RJ45 jacks on UTP cabling lol. Maybe they could have yk, purchased normal jacks and saved money and could have gotten a proper patch panel. But those jacks might have just being lying around. They mentioned connecting some directly cuz of AV cable or POE but, I think you can terminate even BNC or POE on patch panel so they doesnt make sense. Can't defend them on the installation though, that's honestly the most worrisome thing here. They could probably just be on a budget or different stuff owned by diff groups or idk, it is what it is.

I have seen so many of these types of install where they save some cash on putting enough patch panels for proper installation. May be a pressure to lower the price, but as a professional, we always want to provide the right service not just for the money but for the profession.
its also my job ,but few points you should never use socket in rack you must put every single cable in patch panel then using patch cables to connect with switch.....but good job
At 17:07 the video shows why I would avoid to pull cable between active equipment. Other question is where they connect power and PE (or FE) for the cabinet?
Good luck troubleshooting that mess, lol. You're gonna have a bunch of adjacent cubicles on different switches 😂 These cables should be velcro'd outside the cabinet as well as inside.

I hawe question why you using f/ftp keystones and f/ftp rj 45 when your cable is cat 6 a ? They are much expensive from those you really need, when you hawe f/ftp cat 6 then you must use that material…
Anyone can make the patch panel look decent if you just throw back all the rest of the slack .that’s why there are some many short cables behind that cabinet . Also that’s way too much service loop

Why not all cables terminated at patch panel. If those are for other than data, should be of other color and terminated on different patch panel you have ample space for patch panels, UTP wires with Shielded RJ45?.

@@mosesmaina1231 patch panels, they mentioned some are AV links, so use unloaded patch panels instead where you can use BNC or RJ45 either side. If it is budget constraint, maybe they could have used the wasted money from using the shielded RJ45 jacks on the unshielded cables. But then again, maybe those were just lying around, maybe these are shared equipment, who knows, but ideally, this should have been done differently, it's really too messy and over the place.
