Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Fiber (and I guess CAT5) cable managemen
In our latest rack, it's a 288ct fiber terminating to an ADC (Commscope)
panel and then it's just a load of 1 meter patch cables straight to the OLT
ports.
Cat5 down the tower to the patch panel/switch is always shit. We put in
Chuck's surge cards and then a patch cable from that to a Mikrotik.
100% patch panels eventually.
But yes, switches and patch panels.
What I'm asking about is generally "Front of rack patch cable management".
Not the back, not the cables into the rack, not power cords on back of
equipment. Simply port-to-port patch panel on the front.

Full of what? Switches and patch panels?

I guess I should clarify even a bit more.
This panel is where the core 6509 has been, now we're migrating to a pair
of juniper MX204's and a fair number of fanout switches. It's also where
all of the fiber has been terminated.
My thought is to provide horizontal cable management from switches
*shrug* then do your suggestion. Otherwise you'll get every possible
suggestion/idea and it's not going to do anyone any good.

Think 10 years of neglect and basically no front-side cable management.
Cables everywhere. Not as bad as some reddit pictures, but
Nope.

Thanks to the (not) fun labor situation anymore, I've gotten sucked back
into some more of the day to day design stuff at the WISP, specifically
some of the server/fiber infrastructure at the head end.
It's time for me to just fix the cable management in the racks, which
apparently the previous
