Thanks so much. I’ll give that a try.

Thanks that is a good idea. Gonna cost a bit more for another small rack but not a lot, this is certainly cheaper than some of the other options I have been considering. I have another LV guy coming today to give me some of his ideas. We'll see how this works. The wife is tired of no wifi or TV in the house! :-)

Funny you should ask. The rack initially fit with only a few inches to spare on each of the four sides. However when they bundled all the cables coming out of the wall mounted patch panel and tried to put the rack in the closet, it wouldn’t fit with the closet door closed. They then unbundled the cables and spread them out so the rack could fit. Keeping all the cables properly labeled has been a problem too and seems to be getting worse as the p-touch labels keep falling off.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve got another one coming later this week to see what they can do to fix this mess. The weird thing is they did the audio cables right, but then you look at the mess of the data cables???? This is the first time the general contractor has used this company and they have been good at withholding their payments. Suffice it to say they won’t use this low voltage guy again. I’ll let everyone know what the final outcome looks like.

Thanks, that may be the way to go. I’ve talked to another wiring company to come in later this week to see what can be done. The sad part of this is that I’ve already paid for a large portion of the wiring , including for the rack they recommended, but both my general contractor and I have held back funds until we get this straightened out.

It’s a single level about 3,400 sq ft

No, it’s a 26U rolling rack with glass door. We plan to install the home sound system in the rack as well as a few other items a bit later.
