Is this fiber optic cables or does it somehow split a PCIe slot? > I've had to untangle some 150+ cable rats nests, but> for that one I'd just > say, Naw... I'm going home :) Towards the end of the video, they show the patch panels which are true rats nests. Looks like some of the network rooms I've seen. Some people don't mind dealing with a mess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
