The way cables are organized and distributed is very important.
I have learned that the best way to have minimum affectation when a switch fails is to plug cables between patch panels and switches as follows:
Patch Panel cables organization ---> Horizontal (port 1, port 2, port 2, so on)
Stack Switches ---> Vertical (switch 1 Port 1, Switch 1 Port 2, Switch 2 Port 1, Switch 2 Port 2, so on)At the end you should have this:
PP 1 Port 1 ---> Switch 1 Port 1
PP 1 Port 2 ---> Switch 1 Port 2
PP 1 Port 3 ---> Switch 2 Port 1
PP 1 Port 4 ---> Switch 2 Port 2
PP 1 Port 5 ---> Switch 3 Port 1
PP 1 Port 6 ---> Switch 3 Port 2 -

PP 1 Port 6 ---> Switch 3 Port 2I like it like this (but without the blanks between):
Stacked switched don't have to be mounted next to each other.

I like these two except when port 1 on switch 3 goes bad and the only open port is port 22. Then before replacement arrives, port 20 goes bad, old user on port 3 is gone, so person decides to use port 3 temporarily. Now temporary becomes long term and we can all see the future now.

True! Then you'll feel like this...
Or you can keep a spare on the shelf.
Otherwise you might have 48 angry people if the switch dies on you. -
@Pete-S Very true, in IT temporary becamos forever... that is a LAW!!!
