What do you guys think about what will be coming down the road for wiring in the closet. I am constantly fighting with the IT side about wiring, their messy patch cables and the amout of space this takes up vs nice neat 66 or 110 blocks. As far as space is concerned patch cables and racks take up a lot of space.
Patch cables per developed in the old days due to limited resources. You had to move the connections from one port to the other for time shairng or becuase the cost of the switches and routers were so expensive. Today all connections and conected devices are on all the time so I am wondering what the need for patch cables is for.
Is there a better way to connect these to the voice or data network? Cables drooping all over th eplace and loose conenctions are a constant problem for data networks. Voice networks on 66 or 110 blocks don';t seem to have near the problems.
What about fiber? Since the cost for fiber and fiber network cards hase come down perhaps that will replace the copper networks for data?
What do you folks think is the next big wiring phase to come along?
