Great job to the team that did this. Hope your management team recommended a bonus for you. This is beyond just doing your job. It’s passion and love for what you do. I absolutely love people who go above and beyond. Thank you for doing an amazing job.
Nice to see pride in someone's work. I used to work for Southwest Communications back in the '90s and that's how our work would look. If you were sloppy, you would be out of a job quickly.
I've seen a LOT of great cable work and done a fair amount myself, but I have never seen anything this good. You sir are an artist. I suspect your OCD therapy bills must be outrageous.
Brings back fond memories to when I was a wireman at GEC. We had to make them neat like this and all wires were "formed" at terminal blocks too. Didnt use cable ties, all had to knotted with binding.
I've done cable management this way many many times but I have also done cable management using wax string = the old telephone company way = as requested by the customer.. Either way looks nice but zip ties are by far easier and faster.
Just remove the plug, thread the cable through the clamps and thread in a new one then add a plug. And it likely wont brake because its not being bent at a stressfull angle AND its easier to find it and remove it than doing it from a spaghetti explosion kind of situation.
The radius bends when the cables come out of the bundle and into the patch panel are a thing of beauty! This is what a fantastic job looks like. I know some people will say "but zip ties!" but truthfully in a DC core you shouldn't be screwing around with your cable layout. Plus, the likelihood of having a cable fail in this sort of setup is vanishingly small.
To everyone saying, "It's going to be a really crappy job replacing a cable." A quality ethernet cable, which data centers use, have a VERY LOW failure rate. They are just as reliable as the electric cables run throughout a building. So, in reality it's a RARE occurrence and in the 50-60 years when they do begin to experience widespread failures(and that is just a possibility they could last for hundreds of years). The entire server room would be have been overhauled, multiple times, with new servers and technologies, including cabling, anyways. So basically everyone's point, who said that, is MOOT.
+Philip Horsley Exactly. I have been doing data center infrastructure for 10 years and can count on one hand the number of cables that have "gone bad". (Though sysadmins will go there first every damn time). And that is for patch cords. This is punched down trunking which, once tested after install, should NEVER have a problem.
rats eat cables, random contractors can cut cables, there might be a cable drop that needs to be relocated that does not have enough slack....lots of things go wrong
Joshua - in my experience a datacentre with rats probably wouldn't have neat cabling anyway; or many customers. And besides, this is infrastructure cabling, it's so rare to ever have to touch it once installed. Even if a fault develops on a port all you'd do is patch to the next spare.
And they probably already have some redundant drops in there. I mean, even in small offices it's a good idea to run every drop in pairs... Cable is cheap
Blitz K Well, copper is not as bad as people think. We have a 10Gb copper network at work, and it is great. Your cable broke? Well, use this CAT5e, no 10Gb for a while, but it works.
Thirty odd yrs back when commercial phone systems were still heavily "wired out" like this, we used to do work like that. Cabling is an Art. Absolutely fantastic work by whoever did this.
Wow!! What an amazing installation. One of the best ones I've ever seen. Only problem with it is that it should be secured with Velcro and not tie wraps.
Very nice dressing. I used to do this. Spend weeks in the closet 8-10 hrs a day wasting tons of ty-wraps. Wished I had taken photos of my work back then.
I'm sure the front and the network drop cover plate has a label. You really don't need to label cables. It's a lot of extra work for little benefit. There are tools that will allow 2 techs to walk through the building identifying port numbers as they go and label on the fly -and you don't have to dress your cabling based on any particular order.
Excellent workmanship, been there and did that, gotta say that it had to of been more than one guy. Thats a lot of cable to pull, then you have to sort and lay it out correctly so that you know where in the bundle and which bundle side the cables have to be on, then you have to factor in the turns. Meticulous planning, and a lot of detail work. Looks like zip ties, not sure if they really are. I did notice no labeling on the cables at or near termination point, I assume they are there somewhere, just not visible, as that is required at every installation I have ever been on. Kudos Eddy
I used to do this in Data Centres, very time consuming and not that easy but rewarding being told your work is very good and seeing it neat and on display. Now cable sock is the way forward as it saves bags of time, which no one gets on jobs these days....excellent work👍🏼
+hellterminator Like the copper is suddenly going to "go bad"??? That's about as "never going to move" as it gets. And none of it looks over tightened. I'd rather see cable lacing, but that's such a lost art.
My company just moved to new offices. We have a large test lab, requiring lots of RF/Ethernet connections. In total we have 34 racks dedicated to just to patch panels, albeit not entirely full, to support about 120 racks of various equipment we installed afterwards. They did great work. The work in this video is even better. Must give props to the technicians that spend weeks doing such work. It isn't outwardly appreciated enough, but it serves as a critical service to network infrastructure.
This is an excellent job my only comment is to stop using tie wraps. its OK to use them to train your cables but shouldn't be used long term. one small diagonal clip and its a razor blade. Most if not all central offices ban the use of tie wraps (fire+safety hazard). I used a lot of wax twine but now Velcro seems to be what all the "data" people use nowadays, so I too secede to the Velcro.
This is nothing short of stunning work. I have to say, that if you DID have to replace a cable, it would be WAY easier to do it in a nice neat situation, than a rat's nest. Are those 10 gig cables? they look too big to be cat 5 or 6. You my friend have amazing talent, patience, and pride. THIS is what pride in your work is all about. I'm awe struck. This is going in my favorites folder. *applause* *standing ovation* Take a bow my friend, and then another.
While a rat's nest is unsightly and a nightmare to unravel, this can also be a nightmare to unravel as well if a cable did go faulty or some slack was needed for whatever reason - and a time-consuming nightmare to reclose too. Aesthetics isn't the only important parameter.
I do this for a living. I have to say, hands down nicest I have ever seen. Wish I could get it that perfect. Only change I would make is some cable identification labels would be nice.
And then the vice president of eliminating extra personnel stated, "cables going to the left side must be a different color from those going to the right side".

Hats of to the team for this masterpiece! I'am a data center technician myself, I've never seen such an organized and precise dressing as this. My only question is, did you cut the ends when you reached the rack to get the exactly needed lenght?? It looks like its prefect down until the last centimeters, my mind is blown tbh...
he aint a poor sod .. he did it the right way ... the poor sod is the guy who has to take the jumble and make it work ... that takes forever this setup 1 day for all the wires to be tested .. a jumble a week IF youre lucky

Not patch cables, but the actual wiring. That's an excellent point though. When it comes to cables ties, I consider "less is more"...the less you use the better. It's been suggested to me that you should use Velcro for CAT6. To that I say "then why do the come with the panels???". ;-)
patch cables LOL , seriously though if a cable gets added that is a lot of zip ties to cut and re-install. Velcro is your answer Eddy . I'm sure in the last 7 years you've figured this out though .
you only get that service when you being paid well..........been there done it. Bosess always want to know whats taking so long. Thats when zero f^^cks are given. you give them spaghetti for rushing you........Obviously this guy had no worries of time.
And this is the main reason I never got back into the industry. I had a string of jobs where neatness was demanded so I was ruined for the typical rush jobs that are more commonplace. I got so frustrated for over 2 years not being able to do work that met my own high standards I was soured on the network tech/cabling industry.
i always told the people who said rush ... you want it done or done right pick on ... cuz getting it done can be 20 minutes but if you got to trouble shoot it after it will be days to get it done .... if you do it right the first time trouble shooting takes hours at most...and that includes putting the fix back in place with all the ties ... . most sites who are given th option say take your time do it right cuz the IT departmnt understands ... less time down means more time up and more productivity ... IT's groups that say get it done aint worth shit.
velcro is the worst thing to use as a cable tie on this .. it adds an emf which makes everything go screwy ... NEVER use velcro on network cabling EVER
Where do you want me to post my work Quinn Greg??Because my work is perfection, I'm BICSI Level 2 Certified by the way,and there's no tie wraps aloud in my data center!Not on Cat.6 especially, so let's see some of your work Quinn Greg.
+Tony Touma ..... I know a well done job will be velcroed and labeled. the client didn't want to get this done all the way because of many important reasons.... I can't say the details because It would involve the company's way of doing things.......... I guess you sir are gonna have to imagine how it would look with velcroe and labels.
+Eddy Rodriguez You're right,and I will admit it does look aesthetically good,really good,but no tie wraps in the data center is a rule of thumb on my side of things.
+Quin Gregg Congrats bro,I'm on LinkedIn, check me out.My real name is Tony Touma. I like your credentials though,started in 84' myself. Enjoy the weekend.
I learned from old telco techs (early 1990s) that ONLY did this level of quality. They originally used Cable Lacing, before nylon cable ties appeared. Surprising to most Novices, it doesn’t require more time. It does require discipline and patience.
Lmfao not even close a union guy wouldn't have this much time or pride. Plus it's really not that hard considering they have a tool that slides over the cable straightening it out for them and then they wrap a cable tie on it
would have been interesting to see the process that led to the outcome. curious if the bundling was random, i.e. a single level in a punchdown came all from the same floor in the highrise, or from a random office? also, maybe the nearly empty punchdowns should have been filled from the bottom up so you could add more lines later and maintain the symmetry and overal OCD/anal retentiveness :) Great job, nicely done!
Cut a zip tie, pull the bad cable out, put a new one in its place, and zip it up again. Then proceed to the next zip tie. When bundles are made perfectly like these, they actually make it very easy to replace a cable, as they don't get tangled. So you can just pull out the bad cable instead of having to untangle it.
@@sanderd17 But if the cable is in the middle of the loom - not so easy, and not so easy to get it as good looking again. Re-tying it will take ages too. Nice and aesthetic yes, but that's not the be-all-and-end-all.

you only get that service when you being paid well..........been there done it. Bosess always want to know whats taking so long. Thats when zero f^^cks are given. you give them spaghetti for rushing you........Obviously this guy had no worries of time.
And this is the main reason I never got back into the industry. I had a string of jobs where neatness was demanded so I was ruined for the typical rush jobs that are more commonplace. I got so frustrated for over 2 years not being able to do work that met my own high standards I was soured on the network tech/cabling industry.
i always told the people who said rush ... you want it done or done right pick on ... cuz getting it done can be 20 minutes but if you got to trouble shoot it after it will be days to get it done .... if you do it right the first time trouble shooting takes hours at most...and that includes putting the fix back in place with all the ties ...
.
most sites who are given th option say take your time do it right cuz the IT departmnt understands ... less time down means more time up and more productivity ... IT's groups that say get it done aint worth shit.
Just imagine something wrong with one of those wires you have to cut all the zap straps
Very easy to cut and replace though.. The cables build up a memory and pretty much remain in place.
Some of the best I've ever seen, and then they go and dress it back with tie wraps instead of velcro. This cabling deserves so much better.
This was time intense, amazing work I’m doing 5 devices on a rack and it’s crazy hard
nursing a semi right now
I'm spent by 1:49
That is a lot of zip-ties, some velcro would be nice.
+Luis Baez I like what you wrote. Velcro is the way. zip ties distort cables.
Luis Baez right, zip ties is taboo . unless it's a service call and just needs to work for a period of time. then f it.
Luis knos de wai
velcro is the worst thing to use as a cable tie on this .. it adds an emf which makes everything go screwy ... NEVER use velcro on network cabling EVER
holy shit if I used zip-ties my boss would make me re-do all that, but I wouldn't ;)
Where do you want me to post my work Quinn Greg??Because my work is perfection, I'm BICSI Level 2 Certified by the way,and there's no tie wraps aloud in my data center!Not on Cat.6 especially, so let's see some of your work Quinn Greg.
Now replace all those tie wraps with velcro and we're talking!
+Tony Touma ..... I know a well done job will be velcroed and labeled. the client didn't want to get this done all the way because of many important reasons.... I can't say the details because It would involve the company's way of doing things.......... I guess you sir are gonna have to imagine how it would look with velcroe and labels.
+Eddy Rodriguez You're right,and I will admit it does look aesthetically good,really good,but no tie wraps in the data center is a rule of thumb on my side of things.
Yes sir sometimes we need to make the client happy .....
+Quin Gregg Congrats bro,I'm on LinkedIn, check me out.My real name is Tony Touma. I like your credentials though,started in 84' myself. Enjoy the weekend.
I hope who ever had this done for them appreciates the shit out of that workmanship. Those tails are beautifully installed!
I learned from old telco techs (early 1990s) that ONLY did this level of quality. They originally used Cable Lacing, before nylon cable ties appeared. Surprising to most Novices, it doesn’t require more time. It does require discipline and patience.
Agreed; Top notch. Looks like Union work.
Lmfao not even close a union guy wouldn't have this much time or pride.
Plus it's really not that hard considering they have a tool that slides over the cable straightening it out for them and then they wrap a cable tie on it
would have been interesting to see the process that led to the outcome.
curious if the bundling was random, i.e. a single level in a punchdown came all from the same floor in the highrise, or from a random office?
also, maybe the nearly empty punchdowns should have been filled from the bottom up so you could add more lines later and maintain the symmetry and overal OCD/anal retentiveness :)
Great job, nicely done!
good luck changing the cable in the middle of the strand that went bad
Cut a zip tie, pull the bad cable out, put a new one in its place, and zip it up again. Then proceed to the next zip tie. When bundles are made perfectly like these, they actually make it very easy to replace a cable, as they don't get tangled. So you can just pull out the bad cable instead of having to untangle it.
@@sanderd17 But if the cable is in the middle of the loom - not so easy, and not so easy to get it as good looking again. Re-tying it will take ages too. Nice and aesthetic yes, but that's not the be-all-and-end-all.
The quality & organization of this installation gives me a chubby
Now that is art. Getting them all organised and straight without a kink to be seen (or measured I hope) great work.
I thought zip tie is not a good practice, not really sure why but everyone is moving to velcro as a standard. Easier for repairs.
I came
Amazing but velcrow would be better
This is absolutely insane, this is the best cable management I’ve ever seen in my life
This is how good work looks like. Take a note society and you improve life quality for everyone in the next generations :)
