The IT guy at my office in Phoenix yanked one zip tie and I finally got it
I'd been tying every cable bundle tight as I could for 3 years, and he just looked at my rack and said "loose loops, snug cinches." Now I can swap a patch cable in 30 seconds without cutting anything, has anyone else had a single tip change how they tie everything?
Wait, "snug cinches" is the part people get wrong. The zip tie shouldn't be snug around the bundle, it should be loose enough that the cables can slide a little. If you crank it down tight you can still pinch the cable and mess up the signal...
