Cloned Milkmen’s work on network systems cabling is as prolific as his Flicker photostream. Of the above heaping portion of cable salad, prelude to another wiring closet clean-up project from his job site, he observes the following:
"Look at the 'waterfall' problem. All the cables are cascading down the front, blocking access to our switches. We cannot trace cables, and we cannot add or remove cables. We cannot even see the lights on the front. You cannot see it in this photo but several switches are mounted upside down (probably for good reason, but still). The switchesare also crowded together, with no space between them.”

Cloned Milkmen:
"This is after the clean-up. Notice that the cables are channeled down the sides. We use inexpensive guides that screw on to keep the cables to the side. We used lots of velcro (about every 6 inches) to bundle cables. We parted everything down the center, and used the left and right sides of the rack to organize the cables. Each row on the patch panel was bundled together and connected to the same switch. The switches were interconnected in an effecient way (not daisy chained). The coloring actually means very little in this case. We used what cables we had.Some are colour codes, but not many. We put plenty of space between the switches and lowering the density helps incredibly in keeping the cabling under control. It took 4 hours to do the wiring, and about 2 hours to do the planning (part of the project was to trace 8 connections and move them to a Gigabit switch)."
