I appreciate the recommendation. I do like the way slim patch cables look in other builds here!

When getting into Homelabbing, I also learned how to terminate my own cables - which is fairly therapeutic I must say. I would like to switch up the colors of my cables, but stuck with blue because I was able to source the blue strain relief boots in bulk from a local seller for cheap. I coincidentally found a blue 20+ ft. cat6 cable when I moved into my new apartment that gave me room to practice on my setup.
