The lost art of lacing cable (2018)
In my experience, data center cabling is either a huge mess (random cables just hanging everywhere) or is tied down so much you can&#x27;t do any repairs&#x2F;replacements (velcro, tie wraps, etc).  There is a fine line between cleanliness and usability.<p>For the folks that work with me, I explain the importance of air flow, proper cable length, and component serviceability.  You definitely don&#x27;t want &quot;piano wire&quot; stretched across the rack that prevents someone from replacing a PSU or NIC without affecting other gear in the rack.
