I work in an IT department, so I was pushed into making telecom installs "IT friendly".

Most of the connectorized cables and tie cables tie down on rack-mounted 110 blocks, and we use 110-to-modular and 110-to-110 patch cords to connect to the patch panels and to other 110 blocks in the same rack row.

They're way too high density for my taste, and it's not easy to trace cables.

The sad and unfortunate thing is that the "phone guys" still end up making the connections, as the IT folks are mostly too apprehensive to touch it.
