Why in so many to a cluster? If you have to fix something would that make it harder? What if it was in bundles of ten, then velcroed..

Former data center guy: this is pretty but I would rather fight a mess than cut 30 zip ties to replace one patch cable. USE VELCRO.

I'm kind of upset that nothing is colour coded.

Can somebody explain these feels!? I'm scared!
TechTygr
These are not patch cables. This is structured wiring. It's meant to be installed and never fucked with. Zip ties are acceptable.
TechTygr
Patching happens on the other side of the rack.

I love that it's all purple and not a generic blue, yellow, or beige. Nice work tho!
SirJimmothy
Purple is the standard colour for reduced-smoke cable, in the UK at least. And it looks classier for it =]
Meeson
We use purple for AES audio here in the US
Maeryllith
Whoever is picking colors in the UK is doing a good job )

I thought this is for multi mode fiber

What.. what is reduced-smoke cable? They only vape when they take a break?
SirJimmothy
The kind you put into the structure of a building so they don't send smoke into the air during a fire.
asm80dfa8sdfj
I see. I think that means they're more combustible (incomplete combustion causes smoke). Do they tend to be shielded well?
SirJimmothy
I don't think they're shielded; the sheathing just feels glossier and supposedly burns relatively smokelessly. Not sure how it works.

Commed? Just make sure you use a firewall on that ethernet before you shove it into a port. On a scale of 1 to 10, you are Cat5.

Yes I will be that guy. Every time this is reposted: velcro, not zip ties. Tear it out and start over.
WonderfunkJones
They probably started with veclro and then replaced it with ties. Or they're just that good at doing this work
VoltBringer
Every port is used. Just leave it alone.

THANK YOU!! it makes me cringe hard, every time!

Goddess to I loathe zip ties. What a nightmare to cut them all off whenever I have to replace a cable.
georgioporgio
Leave it and add one, do not disturb the stack
monkeyfett8
What kind of job does this kind of stuff? Like is there a title one would search for?
Sorceresss
This. At my work everything is zipped crazy tight so whenever boss asks to fix something quickly it's like... yeah, well, not gonna happen.
BadAdviceTerry
If its a clean room they can't use velcro
VresiBerba
Just cut them and reapply. It's zip ties, not gold bracelets.
JUSTAnxious275
Or put velcro next to the zip ties before you cut them. No need to be extreme.
ReleaseTheBeeees
Starting over seems unnecessary, just replace one at a time, or don't bother and just go watch porn
Isorikk
If you have to move anything in there the ties are the least of the problems
Youreprobablylyingoronlythinkingofyourself
Those are labeled video camera labels. I would leave it
johnvictor
If this is in a medical care facility of some kind velcro wouldn't fly from what I've read. It cannot be disinfected easily.
0xBADA55
oooh yeah they look like total noobs!
Flawededge
Also non colored is always a pain in the ass (although not anywhere near as bad as permanent zip ties)
PleasePassTheSalt
Can someone please explain what a 'permanent' zip tie is?
Flawededge
A zip tie which doesn't have a nice lever to back it out. You can get ones which can be done and un-done really easily
capngoat
Or reusable zip ties. Ever since I found out they exist I never buy normal zip ties.
Valkyr1987
Those are pretty great
clucja1
It's usually not that they are not reusable. It's about crushing the cable. It's super simple to do with zip ties, but not with velcro.
capngoat
Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
Hismomoness
Technically most zip-ties are re-usable, you just need a tiny shim to lift the "lock" inside them
Hedgehoglet
mechanically, yes. you can reuse a ziptie a few times. Its better to use velcro here. use the zipties as you are tightening up, then replace
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
yeah, not after you shorten them to exact lenght
mitharas
To replace 1 cable here you'd need to undo at least ten ties. That sounds like a lot of work this way...
Hismomoness
I'm just talking in generalities here, with the shims. Honestly for a job like this, twist ties would even work better here
fancygiraph
I bet these go into walls and most likely are never coming out
NicoleDanielle
They almost always take something out or add something. Servers will always need updating. It’s never permanent.
CaptainOC
"never coming out" - hah. Saying that guarentees a need for access maintenance.
olba
Life-cycling ~5yrs, they will and must be replaced, in the mean time brocken ports are a Thing too
