Learning Network Cable Management – A Small Business
Learning Network Cable Management – A Small Business Open Frame Rack Build

In this video I build an open frame network rack from scratch, explaining along the way the each step and the reason I am doing it the way that I am. This is intended for a small business network, not a home residence. I made this video for first time builders, so I try not to assume that you have built a lot of these and that you are looking for some general guidance. With an open frame rack, taking control of the giant pile of wires you end up with is more important than ever – both on the front of the rack and the rear where the cables are entering.
Below are the items I used in this video – these are Amazon links that help me out, but of course you don’t have to use them.

Very nice video, was having an existential crisis watching you patch the router into port 47 on the switch… love the work mate
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Nice work. I really like the pattern on those cable concealers.
Great video. You remind me to Shawn Michaels "The Heartbreak Kid".
What's the name of the AIO Crimp Tool?
Where do you get those chase pipes?
Hello, I'm new to your channel but amazing videos. I followed along on this video and had a question. When pulling cable through the J-hooks above ceiling, do you velcro the runs above the ceiling as well or keep them loose and only cable wrap in the server room where the cables are exposed? Seems like that would be a ton of extra work if you had to pull additional cables later on. I have seen many different videos and wondered how some of the cable management can be kept so clean from end to end. Thanks again!
Do you have any tips for that Cablematters crimp tool? I've had issues with it from the beginning getting it to properly seat all of the wires in the keystone like it should (yes, I am using the official cablematters keystones compatible with the tool 🙂 )…

wish I could see also the ups installation 😀
the network manager it seems that is done through software from the switches 😀
I wish the neat patches had covers for the sides.
nice workmanship and nice video
I currently do not work in the IT / Network field, but I find this oddly satisfying. I guess it't the neat and tidy look at the end of the vid.
What is the name of the crimp tool that y’all settled on? Thank you
Who tested and labeled the cables after you punched them down? I don't see any cable labels.
very wonderful video
Hello, What tape did you use at the end to make the tail of the wires after you comb them?
Why dotn you just bringt two lenght of cables, so you can switch on the fly?
So we'll done. A refreshing video and attitude towards work.
You deserve all the money you’re paid and more
What is your job title? I’m 20 and looking to get into almost exactly what you do. What did you do education wise to get to where you are today? I am currently working on my Net+ cert.
I'm in trade school to become an IT Specialist for Systems Integration, (rather than for Electronics), so I don't get to do a lot of wiring, but when I do, I love working with keystones and associated patchpanels.
hola, me parece que el orden de instalacion de los pasivos y activos no fue adecuaados a las normas, no se cumplio con el 50 % de separacion de los cables ha ambos lados del rack, no se dejo cable de reserva en el rack y se perdio capacidad en el ultima bandeja de acomodo de cable, muy correcta la separacion de los cables por los tubos, pero no se le agrego la pasta contra fuego, cuando se crea un video en yotube, debemos hacerlo correcto segun las normas ETA/TIA para que el mensaje llegue correcto y los que estan aprendiendo les llegue claro y verdadero. por lo demas debo felcitarlo por la rapidez y la capacidad de hacer los jack de los patch panel, utilizando la herramienta adecuada. Le doy las gracias por su intencion
I love this.
Great job.
Nice job. In my opinion, you should hire me as well. Thank you.
Nice. To be honest though. I think I would've preferred you showed details you cut out like at 4:35 when you tapered the cables.
Constructive criticism, Do Not take personally. Im guessing you are an IT guy who also does complete installs. Im an install guy who does not intrude in IT. It is hard to find a tech who can do both so cudos for steppin up. However, for all the care you took on the wall mount rack, sleeves etc your cable work is below par and the feed to the back of the patch panel, crisscrossing etc is garbage.
Comb it outta the sleeve (no divers) do this by starting above the grid but below your service loop….now you got room. Cable wrap each one as they hit the panel with the corresponding faceplate, velcro in groups of six. Personally i deal with that type of punchdown on a four foot step ladder, freehand, then just pull it back up….snapjack or static panel.
Hope i dont sound harsh, thanks for the vid/inspiration.
thanks for sharing. im an it administrator and i was curious about what happen in the early stage of an network project. thanks
This job was incredible thank you for sharing
great work…I was about to make a smart comment about the fact that you could use 6" patch cables, but when you don't have a say in what switches you will be provided, it makes sense. If anyone here thinks sonic wall is anything more than prosumer junk raise your hand so I can laugh at you. I hate sonic wall with a passion, the UI is slow, it has a stupid popup that requires an extra click to log in and they make up their own terminology when industry standard terms already exist. I'll take cisco, mikrotik or hell…even pfSense over that garbage any day.
I'm not sure if someone else has asked this, but can you give some suggestions for that cable comb?
I'm now retired but I have had to both run the cables & add the ends to both RS-232 25wire as well as modern network cables. I really wish I had even thought of a cable comb but oh well. I still have my tool kit and just add new neat stuff to it as I find them. My will actually leaves this kit to a young man whose skills & professionalism has impressed me so he can make use of them in his ongoing career. I'm 65 so I haven't used this kit in a couple of years but I keep everything in vacuum sealed bags so they are as fresh as they were when I last used them. I do the same with any HDDs & backup tapes for the same reason.

Love the work but can't express how much I hate those neat patches and not using slim patch cables
Awsome😊😊
Straight to the point.
Great job. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
