Does he use wall jacks? Or just run them straight out of the wall to the device... same concept.
Agreed

Besides organization, the benefit of going to a patch panel is to switch from solid to stranded cabling where the cables are more likely to be bent and move around more.

Yeah - I'd like to agree, but I don't. At least around here, it's much more likely that PCs are moved than cabling in the closet... but that's just my own personal experience.

Eh? Are you saying you can't/don't use stranded in patch cables, but do from the patch panel to the wall plate?

That's a weird use of stranded. Stranded is a type of cable, not something you do.

Other way 'round.... solid to the patch panel, stranded in the patch cables to the switch.

OK that makes a bit more sense.. but still, a lot of effort.
I think it really depends - the creator of the original post on SW is crazy in their stated desire to tone every time he checks a cable - they why bother labeling at all? you either trust your label (on a cable or on a patch panel) or you don't.

No... i'm saying the opposite.

Most install cable (inside the wall) is solid... that's where the solid cable comes in.

You can't just buy a desktop from BestBuy and run everything from that?

@tim_g He's ALWAYS trying to steer people the wrong way. He's angry that he looks like an idiot and takes it out on innocent newbies by trolling them. It's all he posts any more.

I'm 100% one of those dudes. When you're coming up not knowing anything, misinformation really throws you. Hard to know if the person teaching you is right or wrong in that situation and you're just absorbing everything.

The good starting point is to look for if they present good, solid logic for their reasons, or if they just tell you to do it their way; or they make ridiculous claims to cover for bad decision making like saying that "every company is unique." As if Russian roulette is smart "for some people", since everyone is a little different. Obviously some things are dumb for everyone.
There are patterns to bad advice. Someone actually smart that really, really wants to trick you can do so. Someone just blowing smoke or completely incompetent is usually pretty simple to flush out without much effort. Robert, for example, never gives reasons for anything he recommends, he just makes personal attacks if people question him. He's really easy to spot as a troll rather than an IT Pro.
