A loop this long would allow for the rack to be able to be moved within the room a fair bit.
I wouldn't make one this long, but it's not my setup either.
great job with your pipe dressing but do not leave service loops inside of cabinets, especially in locations that will have the equipment in same racks as cables. This would limit or at least make it mor difficult to get equipment in there and does not look as neat. now if your customer wanted to put a UPS on the bottom of the rack they are going to have to push your service loops up, inside of the rack should not be more than a drop bend in case of re-termination. If such a service loop is required I like them hidden above ceiling tiles if able or at least in nice coil on ladder rack
I'm seeing a lot of comment about how there are no room for the UPS. The kind of ups we use for the army are huge. It take an entire room to fit it and it weight about a ton. So don't worry too much about it.
I was thinking the same thing, like the OK's like twinax (even thought it was TPS power cable at first look), but the terminations are RJ45. I'm in Australia and haven't seen Cat6 like that.
I prefer to bring the cables down to the ground, go in the rack from downside, and keep the remain cable there, because if you need to move the rack (for example access to the back side) it is more easier.
Service loops this big are rarely ever needed. They will however, make integrating anything else into the rack in the future more difficult and obnoxious.
Nice layout! Did they ask you for terminating the cables only or you'll be asked for the network configuration too?
Well thanks, as it's a job for the army, we are not alowed to configure it. I only did the instalation and guy from the army came to finish the job.
Now that's a service loop!
What's the purpose of all that service if the rack is bolted to the floor.

Now that’s what cable porn is all about. That’s neat asf

Just a few tips, grab a cable comb and use velcro!

Modular patch panels ftw. Looks good for the amount of cables there.
Nice work 👍
How do you get the CAT cable to be neat like that? Do you use a cable comb?
No i just use my hands 😅
Awesome

Coax?? Am I seeing that right?

It's cat 6A rj45 cable
I figured it was.

Is it me or you're wasting a total of 2Us the way you started positioning those panels?
You left quite too much spare cable length, which may block your UPS installation on the bottom.
Anyways, congrats on doing this within 2 days. It's really a pain.
Yeah that’s a no from me. Those loops need to be out of the rack. This would not work with my equipment at all.. it’s very neat, but not functional.
The bay is disigned to be used like that. There are more than enouth room to add whatever you want don't worry.

Nice to see MMC on field. Greetings from Poland
Really good equipment 💪💪
Yeah! I know ;)
Yikes
Doesn’t look like a full depth switch will fit in that middle U but maybe I’m tripping because of the angle
Was about to say the same thing
Pretty bad. You are blocking space in every HE in the entire Rack for 4 Panels?
Cables should be run outside of the 19" Space and you need to cut your excess cable length.
I thought I was the only one who thought this wasn't cable porn. Seems okay but deffo not porn material 😂
