This (the general subject of how to keep real-world cabinets tidy and do cabling in a sane way) seems like an excellent topic for a NANOG tutorial. I'd come, for sure :-)
This is a topic that I am quite interested in. I have no telco background, but got started in a shop on par with many of these photos. Around my current job, I'm the guy who is known for whining about crappy cabling jobs. Does anyone know if any good resources on best-practices at this sort of thing? I'm pretty sure that others must've already figured out the trickier stuff that I've thought about. For example - some of the posted pictures show the use of fiber ducts lifted above cable ladders. Why opt for such a two-level design instead of bundling fibers in flex-conduit and running the conduits adjacent on the ladder? -- Ross Vandegrift ross@kallisti.us "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell." --St. Augustine, De Genesi ad Litteram, Book II, xviii, 37
