A new Youtube video from a cabling installer known as the FiberNinja demonstrates his scheme for fiber ducting both sides of an equipment rack. "This was an interesting problem to solve," notes the installer. "I needed to run fiber to both sides of an equipment rack with just one vertical duct." The devised solution involves fabricating a unique way to convey the fibers while maintaining protection and providing for future growth.
