Unbelievable dressing!

I'm in awe! Who needs a woman? This is what makes me orgasm!!!

Cat 6 amazing dressing and termination - YouTube

Seriously though, how on earth do people dress cables this well?!? What tools are they using?

If any of you on here are this good, present yourself to me now! I need to learn from you!

p.s. Merry Christmas!

A cable Comb. If you look at at couple of the links on the You Tube page, there is a video of a guy using one. Great tool.

There you go. Put it on next year's Christmas list then you too can be as good as that guy. HTH.

Most server rooms I've been in...have been an utter mess.....cables here there and blooming everywhere and frequently unmarked....

That however is outstanding, especially in todays climate

Must be nice to have the time to do work like that without either the boss, foreman, site whatever chasing you to get finished.

I'd hate to be the guy that has to replace one of those cables especially any of the middle ones!

By todays accepted poor standards, that is stunning, but it's nothing special.

Now this is the last load of cat6 cables I terminated. I thought I did a reasonably good job, nothing in comparison to what was shown in the video, but ok in my opinion.



Essentially, what you're saying in your above statement is that what is shown in the video is mediocre at best and anything less is crap. Makes me kinda upset to be honest that you're alluding to my work being rubbish and to me having poor standards.

That's not bad dude. Looks like you made an effort.

It looks like the best you could have done with the lack of containment at the cabinet.

(Containment by 'others' is the most oft repeated phrase i heard from Data boys, only beaten by '****' the sparks, espoused by EVERY other trade!)

Thanks bud. I think the point is, We were working to a strict deadline on that particular job and often are on most others. Someone else made a point of this also, I'd love to be able to dress cables as well as the dude in the video, but when time does not permit this, you do the best you can with what you've got.

It isn't the best job in the world clearly, but at least we bunched the cables and secured them at the point of termination, I've seen far worse, but to make out that anything less than what is shown in the video is the work of someone with poor standards is a bit cruel IMHO.

CBA to re-read all the posts to see who suggested that, but there's no job I have done the couldn't be done 'a bit neater'.

You have to draw a line somewhere. As I said, looks ok to me.

Post deleted. Just worked out what 'CBA' means. *facepalm*

Yes, it looks ok to me too

It's good, but then it's quite easy to deal with large numbers of identical cables coming from one direction, so in a way the data guys have it easy. That standard is harder to maintain when you have ten different sizes of cables, some pre-terminated, arriving from various directions at different phases of the work, and cable management hardware that only suits some of them.

I've got a rack to rewire at the weekend, where there's everything from armoured multicore fibre, single fibres, SWA mains, HDMI, HD coax, 5-coax multi, Tri-rated, Cat6, etc. And it contains critical systems that must not be powered down, but have to be moved and re-cabled piecemeal while running. It will be neat, labelled, everything will be secure, with re-termination loops, cables combed out where possible, but it won't be textbook standard because I can't afford the time.

As much as I like to do pyro art, preferably with bare copper because you can get a better finish on it than PVC oversheathed, I can't usually justify the time for that either now.
