  Matter of pain threshold I guess. Personally I prefer spending the odd hour on tidy zipping and labeling (yes, both ends of the cable) over cable-pulling during an emergency at 4am...

    As a matter of opinion I use zipties for permanent cables (tray runs, other mostly fixed cabling), and velcro ties for in-rack where they're more likely to be updated. But then again zip ties are cheap and it's sometimes just easier to cut them off then mess with the velcro.

      Indeed, when I wrote "zipping" I actually meant velcro. We're doing it pretty much the same way (in some racks we even have a velco-strip on the side as "parking zone").

  Don't use zipties as much as possible. A roll of velcro cable ties cut to length is much easier to handle and reconfigure.
