Redo all patch cables in the network closet(s)

[mitar]

We have replacement cables, we should redo all patch cables.

We have ethernet cables/patch cables:

• 2ft Black – for network closets around Cloyne, to connect switches to rooms, top row
• 2ft Grey – for network closets around Cloyne, to connect switches to rooms, bottom row
• 5ft Grey – to connect servers
• 5ft Yellow – for uplink in the server room
• 2ft Yellow – for uplink for switches in network closets around Cloyne
• 2ft Green – to connect APs
• 2ft Blue – for mesh antennas

[ghost]

but like isn't there only one network closet per floor? [floor no, wing name]

[mitar]

I updated labels so that they are consistent. :-)

[ghost]

looks better, thank you!! :)

[ahdinosaur]

oooh, so great! :sparkles:

@eranda2595: Please update the issue with latest information on the progress.

Also do not throw simply everything into the electronic waste. Not everything is electronic waste. Some things are simply soft plastic (like bags). Please clean that up.

Also, in general, make space around switches tidy. Do not leave wires hanging around so that others might hit them when they are using closets.

For second floor please update the comment above, where is already one photo.

Also, format text around images in the same way as other comments are. You can click on edit button to see Markdown syntax used.

Moreover, why 4 yellow cables on the third floor?

[mitar]

And on the second floor you mixed one black cable.

[mitar]

Also, upload new photos for east wing.

@mitar

1. updated.
2. thanks. updated the syntax and should be fixed.
3. needed to check with you about that because I assumed the yellow for uplink cable.
4. we ran out of grey cables, that's why I had to use that.
5. uploaded.

We care only about the latest state of our improvements. So we want old photos, and latest state of improvements. (In west wing 2nd floor you have old improved and new improved photo.)

we ran out of grey cables, that's why I had to use that.

You should not reuse the color which is meaningful in the same context. Which of those cables are not an uplink? You cannot tell. Reuse old cables and then we can buy one more set of cables.

Why you didn't report here that we ran out of cables? We could already order new ones and have them delivered today. It is at least 2 days ago since you noticed that we ran out of cables.

In east wing you have old photos for latest state. We moved all cables to come from the right. Please update photos with latest state.

So west wing third floor cables are mixed. And second floor west wing one cable is mixed. Moreover, you do not start from right with rooms, as we discussed. You should start from right with rooms, and then left top set of ports is used for special ports.

OK, I went through all cabinets and fixed the cables and labeled them. I also replaced old 100 Mbit/s switches with new small Gigabit. I updated photos above with the latest state of all cabinets.

This is now done.

@eranda2595, thanks for all the help!
