Just some random cable mangaging

[UGP Studios]

 

So during part of our networking mid term we were setting up an old serial network... and I already did it so I did not have to participate... So I was just in charge of setting up the serial cables and console cables.. I did not make it perfect since I will be tearing it down later but I did some basic cable management since my counterpart on the other rack had a spaghetti monster and I wanted to easily determine DTE ends and DCE ends on the serial cables...

Our school leaves the serial connections attached because the connectors are fragile and the hwic-2t cards are high priced. Not to mention that in the ccna1-4 and security classes all use the same serial layout in every lab.

 

At home I use t1 cables that I made with an inch or so of slack for pretty cable management.
