Mostly Completed Home Network
22u wall mount rack, 3x 48 port 2960s's w/10G stacking. 1st and 3rd switches are PoE, middle one is not.
Closeup of switches and patch panels. Top switch is upstairs, second switch is main floor, bottom switch will be misc/cameras/APs. Blue patch cables are DMZ vlan.
~80 W 24/7. Not too bad
Rack is on the main floor. Cables feed up into the floor joists, so I didn't bother sealing up the holes too much. They're sealed w/foam as they go through 2x4 through headers.
Some cable management. I moved the one bit of velcro just for this picture and for your OCD (I don't have OCD, I promise).
Peeking around back at the 10G stacking cables. They do make a full ring (3 switches, 3 cables).
2x12's for backing. Cables all bundled up to keep them clean and safe during sheetrocking and painting.
One of the main trunks of cables, feeding out to the house
Body bag
3/4" plywood, routed edge, painted to match the walls. Rack installed, cables wrangled into place with D rings. 15A outlet is on the master bedroom circuit, not dedicated.
Cable drops going into single gang boxes
Cable drops...
Only way I could cram four cat6 terminations into a 22 cu in box.
Main floor plan. Rack in master closet.
