    Physical rack cabling technique and ideas for my project

    Thank you! My plan to at this point is to keep the patch panels in the rack in an effort to keep everything together. That being said, in your opinion, do you have a rule of thumb as to where to place the switch and patch panels in the rack (top, middle or bottom)? I need to read through my...

    Physical rack cabling technique and ideas for my project

    Thank you, this helps me feel more comfortable about the top down approach and bypassing the low voltage panels. Do you typically use T568A or B? I always thought and used B in the past, but after having researched I'm finding some pretty mixed opinions. Some are saying A is better because it's...

    Physical rack cabling technique and ideas for my project

    I have some audio and video distribution equipment I'll be installing in the rack as well. Does anyone have an opinion on the placement of my switch in the rack (top, middle, bottom)? Also, I've seen some pictures (like the below link) online showing the use of the low voltage panel/cabinet. I'm...

    Physical rack cabling technique and ideas for my project

    Thanks for the tips! Do you have any pics of the loop suspension you're referring to? I'll do a search myself as well. I got the rack probably mid-way during the install, but I think they knew I was getting one. It's probably just the way they always do it and didn't think it through I guess.

    Thanks! I have 3 cat6, 1 cat5 and an RG6 at each TV location. Each are colored differently just to make it easier and quicker to decipher what's what.

    Physical rack cabling technique and ideas for my project

    Hi Thiggins, thanks for the response. I have a 48 port switch and 2-24 port patch panels I'm planning on mounting in my rack (switch in middle, patch panel on top and bottom). I know if I had 5 guys set this up, it would vary with each person. I'm mainly looking for pros and/or cons based on...

    Physical rack cabling technique and ideas for my project

    Hi all, I recently built a house and had it wired to the max I was able to do. My plan was to have a company run all of my wiring, then I would handle the final pieces and equipment connection myself. I went to school for networking, but I haven’t been involved in the physical aspect since then...
