    nice and shiny !

    where did you get the pick cables from ?
    I'm getting complaints that mine looks drab and boring (with blue and black cables)


    Pink patch cables are some old CAT5e cables I had for years. Havent seen them anymore though.

    It's what all the cool kids are doing these days.

    If you were anything like me (and it seems like a lot of people are the same), you like a nice and tidy rack (no pun intended, wait, maybe a little).

    I agree, I have a patch panel in my Cisco Lab Rack, and my Server lab Rack, and did you see this company: 12 Port Cat 5e Patch Panels

    MMM! Delicious! I might have to buy one. Even though I have a patch panel in my 20u rack - I'm thinking of getting another rack, possibly 16u.

    The sad thing is I got the patch panel and the rack before I started my CCNA.

    Looking through the thread not many people with fibre connections

    Just got a 3550-fx so need to get a few patches to connect it to my 2950 switches

    Need a couple of mtrj to mtrj for the fx to 2950fx's , then an sc to sc for the gbic to 2950sx


    I'd love to properly tidy up the cable mess at work in our server rack but I'm not the admin so not allowed to touch it
    (had a power outage today and our admin hadn't plugged our main switch or a couple of servers into the ups only dirty power
    also using ancient dumb power board not a proper rack pdu )

    This looks like what I need to start off with, what equipment is that? Looks like 2 routers and 1 switch? I like that rack, where's this from? Anyone know the answers to this?

    She's not my wife yet, but next year she will be. She hates it. But she knows that in the end it'll make lots of moolah - which she doesn't seem to mind.

    I didn't go out and buy this all at once. I've been putting this lab together since March of this year.

    Ah, mine thought the exact same thing until I told her to go in and 'break' my network. I told her I could have it back up and running within an hour. She unplugged some serial cables, moved some ethernet cables around. I did indeed have everything back and running within 30 minutes. She doesn't doubt me now.

    I'll have to get some better pictures tonight of my current configuration.

    Here's some updated pictures of my rack. I need to get a 12 port power strip to go in there now. Then I can run power to all my devices.

    Ive been working on this setup, top to bottom:
    2610xm w/ WIC-1T (DTE)
    2610xm w/ WIC-1T (DTE)
    2610 w/ Serial 4A/S (both DCE's)
    2950
    2950


    If I had it to do over again i would probably just do 1 XM model, and i'd probably go with the smaller/thinner cable standard.
