Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way, but it seems to be that that would be a huge problem when you need to change out a cable or move something. Do the benefits outweigh the headaches with this kind of setup?
Keeping the 'unseen' copper/fiber bundles neatly organized can actually make those moves easier. If you have to replace a jumper, sure it means taking some extra time to undo and re-do the velcro tape loops as you go, but if done properly, it shouldn't add much extra time. The argument could also be made that a properly run and dressed cabling job would need to be touched less frequently, and by extension, is less prone to physical failures that would require changing out a cable. jms
