When swapping a fully populated switch it's always a hassle with all the cables.

With these fake patch panel you can easily mark and organize them.

Gen2 modular design

Gen2 is splitted in the base unit and 4 separate side panels with labeling.

For the base you can choose between 0, 1 or 2 round eyelets or velcro eyelets and with or without magnet holes.

For the label panels you have X1 to X8 as markers and 1-48 for the ports.

Please pay attention to the port porder your switch uses:

As you print the panels lying flat on the bed, you can easily change filament to have colored labels.

The panels should just snap in.

Gen1 monoblock design

The old version is easier to print and bit more compact.

Port ordering is Cisco style only.

They are labeled 1 to 12, 13 to 24, 25 to 36 and 37 to 48, so they suit 24 and 48 port switches.

In case you are working on more than one switch, there are 6 sets labeled X1 to X6 on the side.

Gen1 and Gen2

Optional add 4x2mm magnets to be able to click them together. 

As there are different tolerances, you may need a drop of glue.
