In my SMB's I use red for server connections, yellow for inter-building and from Internet, and blue or black for workstations. If I had switch-to-switch I'd use another color for that, too. Have you bought the cables yet? We get ours from Deep Surplus http://deepsurplus.com, the quality is good and the price is cheaper than other places we've looked.

Hi All, My main data center is a series of APC racks, 10 I think. Cabling is a bit of a mess and I'm going to re-cable some weekend this summer. What are your preferences? Cable color by rack, system, type, etc? It's just aesthetics but I'm looking for ideas. The core switches are about in the center, so I have cables coming from both sides.
