I was order to make a guidebook (manual, instruction book) on ??how to organize Cables for Servers?? to ensure better working environment, improve job efficiency and safety of systems (Servers). During the research process, I found that it is easy to find cabling information about Networking but it was very difficult to find cabling instruction document about Servers, especially back of the server rack.

It would be very helpful if you can share your knowledge (documents) with me or help me to get information to make a good guideline for Organizing Cables on the back of the Server rack.

Thank you for your precious time. Your prompt reply will be greatly appreciated.

Belkin cable sells cable indentifiers in colors. You could create a color system to easily identify which cable is which. You could also use colored cable.

I would advise you to use velcro cables if you are frequently changing cables in the systems, as wire ties will require clipping to allow a cable change.
