[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3291138, member: 5412"] HAHA! We put in a Serial number 1 and number 2 of a power plant control system that cost 24 million dollars each. When ABB left, the server cabinets were a frigging nightmare, worse than the pic commented on. During the next overhaul when the servers were offline, a crew of us took almost a month to cut the cables to length, put in cable trays, label the cables and make them presentable. I don't know if you have ever seen "combed" cable runs, but in power plants, people take pride in running cables where the outside cables/wires are "combed". You can take a cable in a bundle that is on top, fourth from the right, and 200' later it will still be the fourth cable from the right. It sounds like you take a little more pride in your work than most of the IT cable work I've seen, so good for you. :D Edit: wish I could show you the cable bundles in a pic, but I'm retired from there.
