For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

The engineer here may not need that, but I think they're plugging into the wrong ports. Clearly this is supposed to connect the light beige Distribution switch to the larger darker tan Access Switch on the bottom.
What heathen makes a flat cable with connectors facing opposite ways?
Aren't those things meant exactly for what is shown in the picture? Connecting two ports from different racks.
For everything else they would be too short anyway.
Unmanaged ports oh no.
Don't create a loop!
