Right now all my server equipment is in one room and all my patch panels and core switch are in another room down a hallway with home runs from each endpoint in our building to our patch panels. What i want to do is move all my network equipment from that room to a rack beside my server racks.
How should i go about doing this?
Leave all my current patch panels in room A and run new cables to another patch panel in room B?
or should i put female to female connectors on each cable and extend the cables that way?
Or is this whole idea not in best practice, which my only option would be to run new cables between my new rack and all my endpoints?
first option seems to be best in my eyes, however, im open to any suggestions you guys have.
