Went to a datacenter in Dallas last week and saw the neatest cable management trick...

Was it one of those vertical D-ring runs along the back rails or something else? I keep seeing people use those velcro wraps for fiber but they always seem to sag over time. Did they have a special trick for keeping the slack tucked away neatly?

The trick I keep coming back to is using horizontal cable managers with hinged front covers. They make it easy to tuck slack inside behind the hinge and keep everything looking clean without those velcro wraps sagging over time. Another thing that helped me was running fiber through innerduct with a pull string already in place, so you can swap cables without pulling everything apart. Just make sure to leave a little extra slack looped inside the manager instead of pulling it tight, that way you can reroute later without drama.

Yeah but pulling string always ends up tangled or snapping when you need it most...
