kudos:1 | Very nice!
I'm wondering about the black wire used as grounds though. I thought it was a code requirement that equipment grounding conductors be bare copper, green, or green with yellow stripes. |

| IIRC larger than 6 doesn't need to be. You should mark the ends though with green e-tape to denote ground. |

clean cabling work -- but you've got to get the tenant to upgrade the uplink connectivity on that closet. 2x1gbe on a stack of 5 switches? ouch. hopefully they put in the 10gig nm cards on those 3750x.

oversubscription for the win.

| The bottom switch has a SFP in the slot, just no fiber going to it. Maybe they're stacked and those two will be in a LAG; still over subscribing the hell out of it though.

| Thanks for the comments. The electrical inspector was fine with the grounds, and the IT folks are planning to patch the bottom switch to the fiber as the space is occupied, and is currently only doing remote configs to the security and building automation systems thru the top SFP. There are additional switches coming to the other rack for a different network. |

Hmm... That's something I didn't think of - I have a fiber optic cable that runs through the plant basically. I should definitely mark it with tags like the kind you have. |
|
| Nice work as always! Why didn't you use velcro on the Cat 6 cable?  |

Nice job, and good stuff with labeling desk\wall ports.
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to a new site to install servers\computers and nothing is labeled. |

ahhh, the old velcro vs zip tie argument. Velcro wasn't spec'd by customer, none of the ties are cinching any of the cable and it all passed DTX testing. |
|
| I was just giving ya a hard time, I have no problem using zip ties either, because I know not to cinch them down and ruin the cable |
