Yeah that too. Has presumably he is labeling each cord (rather than toning each cable every time).
If he punched down the cables to a patch panel, he would only have to label them once on each end, and maybe tone them if something isn't kosher.
-
Does he use wall jacks? Or just run them straight out of the wall to the device... same concept.

Agreed
-
Besides organization, the benefit of going to a patch panel is to switch from solid to stranded cabling where the cables are more likely to be bent and move around more.

Yeah - I'd like to agree, but I don't. At least around here, it's much more likely that PCs are moved than cabling in the closet... but that's just my own personal experience.

Eh? Are you saying you can't/don't use stranded in patch cables, but do from the patch panel to the wall plate?

That's a weird use of stranded. Stranded is a type of cable, not something you do.

Other way 'round.... solid to the patch panel, stranded in the patch cables to the switch.

OK that makes a bit more sense.. but still, a lot of effort.
I think it really depends - the creator of the original post on SW is crazy in their stated desire to tone every time he checks a cable - they why bother labeling at all? you either trust your label (on a cable or on a patch panel) or you don't.

No... i'm saying the opposite.

Most install cable (inside the wall) is solid... that's where the solid cable comes in.

You can't just buy a desktop from BestBuy and run everything from that?

@tim_g He's ALWAYS trying to steer people the wrong way. He's angry that he looks like an idiot and takes it out on innocent newbies by trolling them. It's all he posts any more.

The number if myths and misconceptions in this post are insane... I don't even know where to start!
