Thanks for the feedback guys and the posts. Finally finished my minilab!

Now safely inside the vacuum cupboard with the proxmox pc next to it. I put all my networking inside there. And now everything is super fast running on the UCG Ultra and 2 U6 Pros around the house. Could not be happier :)

Can't go past a weekend jaffle from my trusty vintage Tiffany jaffle maker.

Questions from a first time builder of a minilab

Hey guys I'm building a minilab server rack. Been lurking the subreddit for a bit thanks everyone for the inspiration. I'm trying to figure where everything should go. Would love some opinions on arrangement and any choices (patch cable length). I'm going to be building a unifi setup for the first time.

I'm building in a Tecmojo 9u server rack. Just what will fit in the space.

Getting Monoprice patch cables 10x 1ft (60cm) (for Misc devices) and 10x 0.5ft (30cm) (patching on the server rack).

I'm going to get a 12 port patch panel from GeekPi 1U. Things coming from other locations which will plug into a patch panel:

  • Internet Wan
  • 2x U6 Pros
  • Office Gaming PC
  • Living Room Ethernet cable

UCG Ultra (bought). I'm going to 3D print a piece so i can fit 4 keystones. So it can face forwards.

UniFi Lite 8 PoE Switch (bought) for the U6 Pros, office pc, living room ethernet cable. 3D Print

TP-Link Litewave 8-Port for Misc devices fitting at the bottom. 3D Print

What i am trying to figure out where should everything go? I'm wondering if my 0.5 feet (30cm) cables are the right choice. What I'm thinking is:

  • UCG Ultra
  • UniFi Lite 8 PoE Switch
  • Patch Panel
  • TP-Link Litewave 8-Port
  • Misc devices
