    I don’t think we even have ethernet cabling in our DCs anymore, it’s all fiber now. Only for in house networking, workstations, printers etc.

    Looks like an overworked it department. Can’t make things maintainable if you can barely have them not collapse

    This is quite tidy for the mess it is.

I get the spool of cat6, my crimpers, zip ties, etc, then about 20 minutes in I run into the one proprietary cable that’s way too long. I try to tuck away the excess and it never works well.
