When/whether to use custom length patch cables is always an interesting discussion. It seems that Mac has thrown down the gauntlet on this:
[Link: remotecentral.com]Clearly, if you want the cleanest racks, you need custom cables. But, are racks with custom cables more robust and serviceable, or just prettier?
With a large number of cables, space can come at a price- the amount of excess cabling that needs to be bundled & stored somewhere can really get in the way of even seeing the equipment. I use Planet Waves- easy to terminate, easy to cut and re-terminate as needed. When 3' cables are a few inches too short and the next length is 6', it can get ugly, fast.
