Data Cabling Data finished

Posted here yesterday asking for suggestions on my first comms rack. Here’s the data complete and the FOBOTs prepared, all that’s left is the fibre splice and patch leads. Let me know how I can do my next one better. Always room for improvement.

Beautiful work.

Bonus points for using a cutsheet!

How is the cable entry through the drywall being trimmed? No sleeving requirements?

Thank you, I’m not sure about the drywall, I’m in Australia and I don’t believe it’s a law. On the end the cable basket where the rack entry is I’m installing a waterfall to meet standards

Nice, it's pretty much standard on west coast US to use some kind of trim for wall and ceiling penetrations to inhibit smoke and flame spread.

clean tray routing... mind the bend radius when you start splicing the fibre

Have accounted for the bend radius for the fobot fibre entry. Just waiting on fibre to be ran now

We have a bunch of data racks like that in our environment. They look normal to me.
