This is probably a stupid question, but
We've got a few racks in a colo. The racks don't have any decent cable
management (square metal holes to attach velcro to). We either order
cable too long and end up with lots of loops which get in the way (no
place to loop lots of excess really) or too
Copper and fiber patch panels are key. This way you can control the length
from the patch to the device (router, switch,server).

Hi Shawn,
If you don't leave slack, you can't really pull the server out of the RU
