Beautiful!

If / when I'm paying someone to cable a communications rack I expect nothing less than that :)

Of course I would have used Velcro instead of cable ties, easier to add / remove cables later if necessary :angel:

I bet he has a colour coordianted sock draw !
Also agree about cable ties, rarely use them at work all velcro now.

I wish I had pics of the cable runs from years ago at work - everything was neatly bundled and laced, even on the cable trays. We learned cable lacing when I was a trainee tech but I was never as good as the install blokes (I was in Operations). I still have the tools in my tool roll.

We used waxed twine or 2mm plastic tubing to lace - long before cable ties were around - it was continuous along the cable.
