Just came across this thread and though I would add what I have.
Cable and phone patches:
Rack:
More Rack
I have anywhere from 2 - 8 CAT5e drops per room (gives me the ability to change vlans by plugging into different ports in office, bedroom, etc...) that mostly hook into the L3 3550. Each wall plate has CAT5e, RG6 for cable, RG6 for SAT and CAT3. EATX server is virtual, running 8 VMs. Unfortunately, with one foot patch cables you find yourself not able to move the cable too far so I end up just changing VLANs on the port instead of actually moving the cable to another port. ;) When I actually get off my lazy ass and write ICND2, this will probably be a lot messier.
