Beware the big bang in the network room

Giles C Silver badge

There are a lot of people who should never be let near a RJ45 patch panel.

I have seen some bad ones the worse was a cabinet at a company my employee at the time had bought. The cabinet sat in a corridor and the patch leads extended in a pile of spaghetti which extended almost a metre in front of the cabinet. I upset the network person on site with my reaction.

I said get a maintenance window and unpick each cable label them and it back beater.

Mind you I have done the same pulling a cable and finding someone has wound something else round it or even worse used spiral wrap on a few cables.
