spent the last couple of days (out of hours) tidying up our network cabinet since we just added a server... (excuse the poor quality photos)
BEFORE
HALF WAY THROUGH
FINISHED
Red = Computers
Yellow = Telephony
Its not a gigabit network through and though. Gigabit between netgear switches.
Ive been advised to get 2x linksys gigabit switches. would we notice the difference on the network? it seems quick as it is.

We've got Eight cabinets - about twice the size of that, used to have yellow for data, and blue for phones. On IP telephony now so a bit tidier.
Still a cunt to find the port you're after when something needs patching

they was like the last cabinet before we added the server.
Because we needed to migrate new users to the server one at a time, without downtime to everyone, we had to keep two seperate networks... hence all the cabling at the front.

My network is slightly different but goes without saying that cabling is a nightmare for me too
EDIT: You can also see my other PC reflecting in the screen

Take a look at this, 
This is after is supposed to have been tidied up a bit, i dont have the inclination or the time to completely redo it. Trust me its a nightmare to repatch them or find faults.
