A Colorful Hint
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to figure out what cable goes to what in a big mess. Sure, you may have thought it was smart to label them, but even then when looking through cables in a large stack of switches it can be tough. A small, but incredibly helpful suggestion is to use different color cables for different things. You can use red cables for switch uplinks, white for servers, blue for computers, and green for anything else, that way when there is an issue it’s much easier to identify an uplink or server cable in a hurry.
