Wired up the rack, but you get what you pay for

Rack is wired (patch cables ordered). Unfortunately the second hand patch panel is a bad idea, less than half the ports are functional...

I ordered a rj45 cat6 through panel and a bunch of premade cables. Should be here at the end of the month!

That doesn't look too bad, but figuring out which cable goes to which appliance is a bit difficult. With that said, I don't see that many devices in your rack, what do you need that many cables for?

It's a pity no one is participating here. So many posts I see that are going unanswered. People really have let Reddit into their arsehole without appropriate rubber. Your rack is looking great, would love to know the plans for the future. I am personally going to stick with a MicroATX computer and a 6U standing rack, both on my table (when I get there, it's a long way off). Cheers!

I don't need that many cables! But I thought I'd wire up the entire switch and that was I could play with port configs by changing the patch cables.
