THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Build a home network cabinet
Bring your router, switches, cables and power supplies into one orderly home. The aim is not a showroom rack: it is being able to identify a cable without crawling through a tangle.
Do it
- List the network kit and cables you need to house.
- Choose a ventilated cupboard, cabinet or wall-mounted enclosure.
- Plan power, cable routes and enough room for future changes.
- Mount or place the equipment neatly.
- Label both ends of the important cables.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
