            Your still going to different sides of the switches, if you route through a cable manamgnet tray it will need to be different lengths.

              C2G and Monoprice are my "need a bunch of cables" sources.

                @Jason It such a short run, do I really need something to manage the cables?

                  It looks so much cleaner if you put a trey in between the switches

                    If it is really just 1u away, then probably not with appropriate length cables. Anything longer and you'll want velcro/ties and possibly cable trays as well.

                      Cable ladder down the wall, velcro to that in nice neat runs.

                      This!

                      That what we do in our IDFs (well our contractors, we don't do it). All of our IDFs have approx 480 Cat6a runs to them and then the IDFs uplink with 4 Fiber Pairs to the MDF.

                        @Jason That look really nice!

                        I will never have that much cable.
