Re: MDF Cleanup

RGT not to get into a war or anything. I think he was getting at that they should have been all the same color to help clean it up. Nothing like rainbow wiring.

But whats to say they arent different colours for a reason?

e.g. they could be different colours to represent a different type of device, VLAN, uplink/inter or intra building/trunk/internet/etc.

I work for a company who uses different coloured cabled for various purposes (e.g. ethernet, console, high speed/PRI, low speed/dial/voice/BRI), all within the same MDF. If you ever saw our MDFs you would think that people have randomly skewed off the standard colour scheme because it was the only cable they could find or had in their hand at the time. But in fact it has been done for a purpose.

Then again it might simply be random coloured cables that have been installed which dont have any particular meaning.
