@dnsprincess I am always a bit envious of people who have enough cable in different colors to do this. I color code my patch cords, but I don't have enough cabling in my house to justify several 500-foot spools of Cat6.
Of course, I'm not that neat, either, so although I have great respect for installations like this and love looking at them, I would have difficulty pulling one off myself.

@dnsprincess Beautiful
is this "servers" (as per description) of some kind of comms patch cabinet?
@dnsprincess
This is beautiful.
I don't want to be the one to fix a problem in the chaos below
When I worked as a contractor at Lucent documenting their last 5ESS in the late '90s, most of my fellow contractors were old "wire and plier" guys.
I felt bad for them, because I knew that all of that was going to be replaced with IP telephony.
@dnsprincess For me this is not so relaxing, because ...
1. How did they do it? Patched first all cables and from there collecting all cables and carefully join them using tie-ribs?
2. If something needs to be re-patched, how? Cut the tie-ribs with the change to damage the cables? I'm getting nervous only by the thought.
this feels as good as using a scalp massager
