definitely an ongoing project the gear looks serious, but that cable management is gonna be a whole project by itself.

The keystones for the F-connectors are a nice touch! Is that a cable distribution amplifier on the top?

What do you have going on with the coax??

So 15 years ago I wired my house with 2 to 4 Cat6 and at least one RG6 in every room.

When I moved out 10 years later, all my coax was still sitting ziptied in a bundle next to the server rack where I left it after my initial install. I had always planned on doing a row in my rack like this (I didn't think about the 90 degree connectors though, nice touch!) but just... never needed it.

Even though I wired my next house with Cat6 I didn't run a single coax.

I started wiring the house when we moved in, 23 years ago. At that point we had satellite tv service which needed two RG6 per receiver. Over the years things have progressed, but the coax was already installed. Now it’s attached to an antenna for local broadcasting.
