I’m interested, how swinog members mount their (switch/router/firewall) equipment in a hot/cold isle environment.

In theory, one should mount the switches/routers in front (toward cold isle) of the rack to have an optimal airflow, but then cabling get a little bit messy.

If this type of equipment is mounted in the back (toward hot isle), the cabling can be done much cleaner, but the airflow isn’t optimal and in worst case, switches and routes take in hot air from other devices.

How to you solve this issue?

Thanks for you valuable input.

Kind regards
