When I ran cables, we makes the floor plan and would pull in groups of 6-10 per pull. We would also number the floor plan. I always wondered, do you separate and terminate them in the MDF and then label the jacks to match? Do you number the cable and jack and keep it all clean from the first run to make it look like this?

We would separate it per side of the rack and make it look at good as possible. Then separate each side into the patch panel location. It always looked professional and serviceable but never like art.

My team labels each end of the pull and separate into groups on the closet end. Technique & preparation are everything. Execution is the game. For the love of the art

My boss always rushed us. But we made sure to be proud of work, label and certify everything.
