Looking for another critique on cable dressing. Still newb/still messy near match panel. Still learning the technique. And still rushed to hit deadline/budget. Made huge improvements thanks to you pros willing to teach us and we’re grateful.

Per advice from r/cableporn I focused on even velcro straps about 6” spacing.

With panduit cable comb, we’re getting better at the runs along the ladder and down vertical cable organizers.

These could be straighter. Apprentice didn’t un-twist the bundles as well as he could have.

Here’s where I’m having trouble. The ports on the patch panel have to be organized in a specific way, based on the classroom location in the school.

So despite the bundles being mostly pretty UP TO the patch panel, they start to dive and twist as I place the individual lines into their specific port on the panel. Not quite sure how to improve this portion.

I think some might question why I went all the way down, then back up, and this is because I am required to give extra length for “service loop”.

Uniformity goes to shit here as well as specific lines needing to be in specific ports.

Only second time working with these “High Density” patch panels. 48 ports into 1U of rack space.

Cat6A is especially more challenging with this type of patch panel.

I used a “modular” feature on the DYMO label maker and print 20 modules at a time. Then I had to trim the label with an X-acto knife, as the space for labeling is so thin.

I looked for 1/4” width label tape (we had 1/2”), but there was none available for pickup and wouldn’t ship in time.
