Colour coding works great, and it's easy to follow. Then there is that
issue that pops up where *that* cable over there will work!
90% of our movable cable patches (aka stuff that is not hard wired into
a patch panel) are less than three feet long and are totally enclosed
within individual racks (e.g. server to top of rack switch, switch to
patch panel, other side of patch panel to core) - Each end of the cable
is labeled, so it's pretty easy to trace it.
I care more about cable management when you have something like a 6513
with a bunch of 48 port Ethernet blades. Not figured out a way to deal
with that which doesn't look like complete crap - Doesn't matter what
color they are. The vertical 7600s/6509-VE models are nice, but of
course, we don't have those :)
