> Since I know Jeff frequents HN I'll go meta for a second and say that I noticed the Neatpatch cable management in the rack. I love Neat Patch units just to make it so when I'm popping things in and out of my racks, I can drop a few loops of slack into the box and not have it hanging out the back. As long as you keep it relatively organized, it's a tidy, if a bit expensive, solution. For long-term use on a lab rack, I don't like the 1U Neat Patch though. It's too short for frequent use, I often get a little slice from the rigid plastic fingers. The taller 2U units have enough space to work inside—and larger punchouts on the back, for easier cable passthrough.
