The challenge
Years of ad-hoc additions had left the cabinet a maze of unlabelled cables. Tracing a fault meant guesswork, downtime was a real risk with every change, and no one was confident touching it.
What we did
Working out of hours to avoid disruption, we re-racked the equipment, replaced and properly routed the cabling, and labelled every connection. We documented the layout so any future work — by us or anyone else — starts from a clear picture.
The result
The cabinet went from liability to asset: faults can be traced in seconds, changes are low-risk, and the business has a tidy, documented setup it can rely on.
