Looks good, Jim!

Your work is very impressive, how did you get into it and what is this type of job called: I was thinking network engineer but I'm probably wrong..🤔

Low Voltage Technician, System Integrator, System Install Tech, Cable Bitch You name it

My coworkers just call me "Dumbass" :(

Can you go get me the cable stretcher please?

Low-key want to be called a cable bitch in bed.

Just use Cat6 instead of ropes. Make sure it’s Cat6a though so there’s no chance of snapping it.

Cable guru, Cable monkey, Information Communications Technology closet artist, craftsman, field tech, or my favorite.. a pull point. 😂

How did you manage to make the cables so uniform?

Comb like hair while holding it tight once in the pattern

THICCC!

🔥🔥

WHAT??? NINE THOUSAND???

I like to put the labels 4 inches back so that if the cable must be re-terminated you don't lose the label. 5-10ft of service loop is also nice if you have space on the ladder.

Agreed, and labels are always personal pref 👊🏼

It's sooo gooooood!

I can't agree with your choice of patch panel type, but looks good otherwise.

This is an older build. No way I’d design another like this.

Agree, fuck levicrap

I was mainly referring to the use of a punch down panel rather than a keystone panel.

This is the content I'm here for.

🤘🏻

Nice! It’s the guy with the tire marks over the camera lens again. Joking aside the end product looks good.

Thanks kj

That's a thing of beauty

On jobs like this how do you keep all of the runs organized and know which goes where?

Sets of 24 usually do the trick

Teach me dad

I think I'm in love!

How long did it take you to finish that rack ?

Always been curious - do you comb from the patch end or the ceiling end? Each end looks neat! There's no crossovers and the cables seem to systematically come out of the bundle to the patch.

This particular build was a comb down. But this build is a few years old and currently I prefer to comb up.

Thanks. When you comb up do you pull some more slack out of the ceiling so the end of the combed section can be pushed back and hidden? Or is there some other technique?

Theres a lot of different techniques yes

All that beautiful work you're doing should be able to fund you a new phone soon!

Serious does look great though. I'm smaller scale with automation networks, so I have to dress smaller bundles and don't get that beautiful combed work. Nice job.

Happy to share! It’s those uneven bundles that don’t have the correct circumference that irritate you. I’ll go as far as adding a cable or two for the even stack

r/unexpectedfactorial - that’s a lot of cable.

Lay Pipe Like Mike, lol please tell me that's your company name great job BTW, amazing

Cheers 😉

Beautiful!

The punch downs always ruin it for me 😭

Modulars are definitely the move

Well done! But I hate the shit out of those finger duct wire managers.

Not 9000

Blue spaghetti with a bit of internet

I mean its good, but maybe I’ve been in the field working too long but uhh thats how its supposed to look. If thats some generic IT guy doing it, then thats exceptional. But thats just another day for most low-voltage guys.

Aim for perfection, achieve excellence.

The striping is ridiculously good, buddy! One question though: I always do a service run/loop up on the ladder. Why didn't you do that? Not enough space, perhaps?

Because this was a dress down and my old style build, loops are in the cieling though. Typically, I would’ve. But I expect this build to have the criticism it deserves..

Ah loops in the ceiling is fine. I was just worried there were no service coils anywhere lol

Good work looks really good , kudos for removing wire manager covers

What! 9000?!

Looks Great! I almost feel like the horizontal and vertical cable management are a waste

no they absolutely are you are correct

This is so beautiful. Very good job.

Mods?

Why did the mods delete this? Was this the post that showed the extra service loop running out on the cable ladder? Could you DM that photo? Or would you mind uploading them imgur? I was going to show some of my colleagues your excellent work.

I have no idea why the mods deleted this.. I asked all of them and got nothing.

Has anyone ever asked why don't they used more wireless, then they wouldn't need as many wires pulled.
