Maybe not the prettiest, but a little cleaner than it was when it began. If I had it to do over, I might use a small 9.5" rack if such a thing existed. Originally I had the Netgear and patch cables in a Square-D circuit breaker box but it seemed unnecessary and a bit cramped with no air flow. I then added the Firewalla and moved the fiber over with all the other gear. I have room to expand but I don’t think there is anything else I will ever need to add to this location. I have another networking rack more centrally located in the house. There was also tons of coax here but I coiled it up and tucked it away in case it is ever needed again. I originally wired my house with 2 network drops and 2 coax drops to each wall outlet. This spot services 6 drops to my office, two lines to my main networking rack, and the main internet connection.

    purely guessing:

    • ISP box is the grey one to the left where the yellow cable is coming in
    • That links to the Firewalla box (I’m assuming is firewall)
    • Then the blue box being a netgear switch
    • switching to the “patchpanels” probably leads to office, livingroom and serverroom?
    • white and black box in down right corner is power distribution

      Your guess is spot on. The patch panels only serve the office and “serverroom” though. The server room then distributes to another patch panel in a different attic and all the other rooms.
