The person that put in the 2-post did a decent job (you can see the white cables out the back going into the ceiling from the patch panel(s?); looks fine) except that the vertical cable management has come loose at the top somehow.

I see what looks like one 2U horizontal cable manager in the middle? ... so I feel like they were set up for success mostly.

I'm pretty sure literally everyone after that point didn't "get it" in the slightest possible sense of the phrase.

Entertaining parts:

- A cable label... in the middle of the cable so you aren't distracted by information when unplugging it.

- 2-post mounted devices used as shelves because... they're flat?

- Is that a printer in the back right _on_top_of_an_old_Dell_desktop_!?!?!

On second (fifth?) review, I stand corrected. There are about 5 white cables coming out of the bottom-most patch panel that despite not going through the horizontal guide above, do seem to go mostly horizontal to the nearest vertical guide. Maybe that was intentional?

I feel like I could "fix" it with 2 2-post shelves, 6-7 2U horizontal cable guides, a middling quantity of 3-6 foot CAT6 (for overkill), and about 30 minutes of outage window (actual time required: notably higher). Any bids lower?
