Just to be clear, when I say "mess" I don't mean messy, but "a lot", "bunches", "oodles", etc. You have a very nice neat setup there, one of the better organized open cabinets I saw in the facility. I was working about 3 cabinets down. I also was wondering where that Axis cam was displayed, now I know. I did see on major carrier there with a bunch of Juniper equipment and about 3 OC-48, 2 OC-12 and 2 or 3 OC-3 interfaces. No door on the cabinet. Very frightening given the recent "security" thread. It was so messy I'd be worried someone walking by could accidentally take out a few OC-48 lines...
