    At least put in the minimum effort of trying to follow the original path (assuming someone worth their salary actually was involved in the making of the site.).

    Youd be surprised at the difference in mess from just plugging ‘a to b’ and ‘a to b via c’ no matter how many techs having been involved.

      I’d obviously plan the initial setup, start with connecting ports close together via short cables, then put the longer connections on top, avoid unnecessary crossings.
      And when switching out a cable, look for the most direct path

        Cable trays is the magic word. Any rack larger than 2u that see frequent patching need them no matter what accounting thinks.
