Have fun being a cable monkey

Just laugh condescendingly and say "too easy!" every time you're asked a technical question.

Mno not really, field services are usually outsourced or provided by the colo providers

But thanks for the bump anyway

Don't show them your pic. That rack although pretty is wired improperly. They should have alternated patch panels and switches, rather than put all the panels on one end and the switches at the other.

The longer cables added needless expense and require cable management. They could have just used 6" cables instead which would have eliminated the need for cable management, the installation would have been much faster, and swapping out a cable would have been far easier.

I have literally never heard of this. It would look like shit too. And then there's the issue of the 1 meter minimum length according to ANSI, TIA, and EIA specifications.

go post a link to this because i'm willing to be it doesnt exist. why do you think they even make 6" patch cables?

it is common.

see how much easier this shit is to install and replace, and how much cleaner it looks

alternating patch panels and switches is clearly superior

didn't want to bother finding a different pic lol
I liked it because of the colors :3

frankly I haven't physically touched a server (that's not my home one) for the better part of 4 years now

I didn't mean it like that anon, it just wasn't the point of the thread desu

I'd be tangled up in spaghetti cables within minutes if I'd be put in there
>and I'd need a step ladder for everything

I'm taking computer network engineering at university which also gives me a CCNA, i can't wait to start working mang

>>61505969
have fun anon, but if you want to get into it, you have to go far beyond CCNA

unfortunately the cisco courses are a tad behind with the times, but they teach you the basics pretty well

I didn't really realize the mistake in ops post. But, yeah; that does save in cables and cable management by a huge margin.
