[c-nsp] APC Cabinets - Cisco Gear

[Jeremy Stinson]

We have had great success ordering these from our supplier. We bring 24 
cables from each side of the cabinet and it allows us to have great control 
over how the cables looks in front of the switches. Makes them look really 
cool. I have pics of them in use if you want to see them.
