The Ortronics racks look nice and easy to deal with. All of our patches are in cabinets with the Panduit cable managers. There are a PITA to trace/pull a bad cable out of once they are packed. This usually leads to a big mess after someone has gotten into them a few times. -- We were taking a vote when the ground came up and hit us. |

| reply to mediacoretex I thought the 2810's have VLAN, but since it's not a layer 3 switch with routing, you would have to supply your own router between vlan's, ie) Ports 1~24 on VLAN0, 25~48 on VLAN1, and put a router between port 24 and 48.
I'm looking at possibly getting 2900's now, since they have routing built in, along with 10gBe stacking modules in the back.
But yeah, lifetime warranty, you can't beat that! |

The HP are great! They where cheaper and had a better warranty than the Ciscos. They don't have anything fancy re: routing or VLANS setup.. |

The point that the other guys are trying to make is even though it really might not affect it operationally, it shows a clear lack in workmanship pride.

I'm not going to lie it's pretty bad but to the administration it works and because of that they think it's ok. The whole problem with the building is that's it's from the 60's and i don't think the telephone contractor knew how to do it properly. Anyway... |

I'd like to see a picture of how it should be done correctly. Is there anyway of getting some for examples? |

To begin with, basic rule, cables in the bottom jumpers across the top and jumpers shall be run with slack pulled down not outwards

| reply to mediacoretex No there are some that are crooked. Not to mention not lined up properly, not spaced properly and not mushroomed properly...
But I'm a real anal bastard when it comes to that stuff. Sorry! Take me with a real grain of salt and don't be afraid to tell me to shut up. I'm just picky on installs.
