Cable work a beautiful. The fact there are no spaces for switches in between each patch panel is infuriating.

Thank you! I thought the same but this is how the customer requested it.

Are they going to use longer patch cables to connect to the switches? I don't understand why.

Because it's not economical to buy switching to patch everything in. Run extra cables, because it's cheaper to do up front, only buy equipment to fit what's needed, plus room for some growth, and if need surpasses that, you add more. With vertical cable managers and Velcro, it can be kept tidy, especially if you're using the slim patch cables and selecting appropriate lengths for them.

You mean not all those cables will be connected to the switch from the get go. So switches will be added as needed. Right?

I came back later to add some cables and they had the switches stacked below and used like 7' patch cords. It wasn't too bad, they used the wire managers and some velcro.

Other than the snake skin it looks good.

Yeah its kinda the standard in my area for the last few years. We'll still hand dress if the customer requests it or if it's a small cable count.

No switch. Only patch panel

Customer: I want it like this. Me: You sure? Customer: Yes this is our standard. Me: OK, you got it.
