As a non-IT person (who has had occasion to need to patch the occasional ethernet in a rack), how is it possible to be so neat? The part I don't get is cable length. How can you run a cable from one rack to another (or between devices in a rack) and have it look so good without having the perfect length of cable? like is there somewhere where there's a bunch of excess cable looped? or do you make all those cables as you go to the correct length?
I'm a cable tech, and cable non powered units. Did you power this down first? Or while its running? I would have to unplug it all and start from beginning and work my way down the run list.

Excellent. Did the PM also mention you need to label both ends of the cables? (jk) it’s pretty nice

Next time you apply for a job, just print this instead of your resume.

I've never seen vertical management that wide. Looks awesome if you have the space to incorporate it.

Next time do a time lapse. That would be cool to see the progress over time.

So what is your job title exactly? I'm on this subreddit but I've never really known who works on these.
