Doing closets
I’m 19 and have been doing low voltage work, mainly with data cabling and fiber, for about two years. The area I struggle with most is closets. Whenever I walk into an IDF and see cables bundled everywhere, I get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start when it comes to dressing everything and making it look clean and organized.
I work for a very small company, and during my first year I mostly pulled cable while someone else handled the closets. I’ve recently learned how to do fiber as well, which I actually enjoy, but closets are still the one thing I can’t seem to get the hang of, despite getting exposure to a little bit of everything.
I’m looking for advice from people with more experience. When you walk into a closet full of cables, what’s your process? How do you approach organizing, separating, and dressing everything so it ends up looking clean, professional?
Any tips, videos, or common mistakes to avoid would be greatly appreciated.🙏🏽🙏🏽
