Spent 5 hours today organizing cables and I loved it. Went from this:
To this:
For *some reason* a CCTV system still exists and the signal goes out overa bunch of coax to CAT5 converters. All of the CAT5 cable just goes up into a hole in the ceiling, no patch panel or anything, and all of the cables had to go to the exact same port and I had no way to label anything so I had to re-do this one cable at a time. Coax goes left-right, power cables and CAT5 go up-down. All of it now comes out one side of the rack instead of wrapping around it so I can just pull the whole shebang out the rack without unplugging anything and move it into the closet once I get a mount made up for it. I’m usually not a fan of zip ties but as this is a permanent installation that should never have to be screwed with I figured their superior holding ability and cheap price relative to velcro would be wanted.

My PSU just exploded and as such I’ve just done a lot of unplugging which meant a lot of cutting of zip ties which means my cables are real messy right now and to be honest, I couldn’t be bothered to get some more ties to clean it up but after seeing your work I’m suddenly motivated.

I love cable management. It’s one of my favorite parts about the gig.

As Red Skelton said in the Fuller Brush Man, “I do not do win-dows.”

I would assume they went back to coax style cameras after having IP cameras. You can do 1080p over coax now and the cameras are really cheap (in a good way) and they just seem to work better.

More secure than ip cameras.

I work for a consulting firm, we have a couple car dealerships as clients, this is the mess we inherited at the GM dealer. i think I will slowly fix it by rerouting 1 cable every time I am there, I know they would never let us come in and just clean the entire thing up.

That comes with a host of issues all its own.

I love the non-rackmount servers just chilling on the floor. Nice touch.
