Where does one get that ladder frame? Is it the same as the Western Electric framing?

Yep Krone. This is a Community College setting, and it was impossible to capture the entire room. The picture is about 1/4 of one wall of the IDF.
I must admit I was an intermitten helper on this particular job. It's just the quality of work our company does on a regular basis.
I believe everything was CPE (except for velcro, wrap and j-hook).
The ladder frame was from our local electrical contractor supply house.

Yes Jeff it is (AKA: sock). We use split if there is a chance of adding more cables, but if the panel is full then using split doesn't make sense.

Joe,
Ladder rack is available from many supply houses (graybar, anixter, etc.) or direct from manufacturers like Newton Instruments. Any medium sized job (100 line PBX) and up (and even many smaller ones) got ladder rack.

To the ladder rack question, I've only used Chatsworth via Anixter. Good product with alot of additional features, vertical transitions, radius pieces - I think they custom manufactured some tall standoffs for us recently - but I'll need to check on that.
ProfessorShadow: Do you run into issues with the splices of the techflex rolls? I've recently been doing some longer fully socked runs, and have had multiple issues with splices in the middle of a techflex roll.
btw - I like the black. Do you comb out the cable past the sock or leave it be?

I do run into splices and sometimes when you need multiple 75 foot piece (from rack-to-rack) it can waste a lot of time and effort. I comb it adequately in the sock, meaning it's not a perfect waterfall, but it also doesn't bulge in places. I tuck the end of the sock inside the sock and the end. Finally, dress the cables through the wire manager to the appropriate ports. (I think and earlier post might show the wiring within the panel)

For the last few years, I always recommended patch panels for voice, as I anticipate customers eventually switching to IP phones. They will thank me when they do (although I may be shooting myself in the foot for future work). I thought this thread was titled "Pictures of Good Work"? Here's mine. Clients do pay me to "un-mess" their messes...
