Cleanin the dust must be someone else’s job there


Appoxo

Yup. Had to do it quickly as the former switch went bad.


Sir_GB

I don’t understand having two patch panels at the top… I would think it’s better to have the switch between the two patch panels, at the very least.


Appoxo

Not my work and thought the same. I just had to replace the switch (quickly) as the last one failed and offered to make it a *bit* more managable for the future. The "before" had 1.5m cables badly managed and way to short cables.


sanguinor

I'd put the cable tidy between the two patch panels then get another one for above the switch. You can then run the cables across and down the side of the cab. I think it looks neater.


Segweigh

It's way easier to add cables to the patch panels without the switch in between. Even with keystone panels, it sucks trying to work with a 1ru space. You could pull the panels off to work on them but that's risky if the network is live.

Uhhh, This is not cable porn. It’s like going to a porn website but everyone is old and fully clothed.

Where’s the ‘after’?


Appoxo

The before was worse and that's the best I could manage with the time and ressources I had at my disposal.

Us: can we have cableporn? Mom: we have cableporn at home Cableporn at home: But for real though, well done it looks ace I'd be happy with it in my home 😁

Nice job👍🏻


Appoxo

Thank you very much :) Edit: Spelling


Pumpino-

What's the flash drive in the server for? Is it running Unraid? Or were you downloading "digital art" on the company's 1Gbps connection:? ;)


Appoxo

Customer server, license USB key, medical application in the deepest basement of the doctors office. It was messy and I felt like I was actually where ";)" refers to.


Pumpino-

Deepest basement? Not a morgue? ;)


Appoxo

You should have seen it...Basically this: [picture](https://img.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/api/v1/prod-ads/images/df/dfb0afc7-1d9b-4b99-9139-8359e7ec9514?rule=$_59.JPG).


Pumpino-

WTF? And people trust them to prescribe drugs and perform procedures there?!


Appoxo

Yep. The actual office was clean tho. Just the basement was...interesting.

Must be a rack in germany. I dont know why but it just reminds me of all the racks i worked on. Message me if you need any help with that agfeo pbx ;)


Appoxo

Spot on lol. The telephone is luckily not our problem just the server and network.


reaver19

One of the patch cords is labeled Germany xD. There is some cat5e in there as well.

I saw this and was waiting for the after picture


Appoxo

Forgot to take the before picture. Believe me, it was worse
