Cable slacks taking up lots of space in my cabinet at my new house.

I am hoping it'll fit an ONT, ER-X and an 8-port switch.

Cant access that link.

cant access this either

@mrgsm021 you need to change your security settings to allow others to view the image/folder

Mine was exactly the same, just get a bag of cable ties and you'll be able to neaten it up (to something workable). I managed to squeeze in a ONT, ER-4, 8-port switch, etc...

Exactly what I am planning on doing once ONT is in this week.

It ain't pretty. But it works. Hodge-podge of gear collected over various years and specials.

24port managed gig switch, Linksys PAP-2T ATA, Mikrotik RB760iGS router, "Samknows Doodad", and support equipment. All set up to be dismantled quickly given it's a renting situation.

Right, now Ive had official notice that fiber is being installed in my road at the moment, I'll get onto the rack/cupboard. Will measure it up and get some shelving put into place this weekend if things go well......

Will get photos online once I start :)

What's with these piddly "cupboards"? I have a stand-up area under the house about 7 metres by 1! No, I don't have nearly enough to fill it, but no cramming needed!

Access to the rumpus room with most comps in it is easy - poke a whole through the intervening plasterboard wall for the cable!

Get a cable upstairs to the TV corner in the lounge? Drill a hole through the floorboards above!

Sorry, couldn't resist😊

But, really impressed with the neat "cupboards" and professional setups shown here. Well done, guys.
