Setting Priorities

Life contains a series of choices. Each and every choice we make reflects our priorities.


When the phone rings, some people look at the caller identification and decide whether to answer or allow the answering machine to take it. I have even known many people in the home based business industry to proudly acclaim that they do not answer their own telephone. Unfortunately most Americans and probably other countries as well, become so involved with their daily lives that personal communication falls off the priority list.

It is easier and faster to dash off a quick email rather than write a personal note. Yes, it takes a few more minutes to hand write a note, place it in an envelope, address the envelope, stamp it and walk it out to the mail box. How do you feel when you receive and email? How do you feel when you receive a hand written note? The note feels so much more personal than the email. Granted, an email provides more value and immediate response than the "intend to get around to writing the note procrastination" response. An email therefore provides more than intending to write the note but not doing it.

The concept of using cabinets to house data processing equipment is an offshoot of railway switching systems, in which multiple relays and wiring harnesses could be placed in one central location. This idea is very suitable for data processing applications, due to the tremendous amount of cables and patch leads that are characteristic of even the simplest of data systems.


The term "comms" is actually a shortened version of "communications", which was the next industry to adopt this very useful design concept. Broadcasting companies and other industries that worked with audio and video equipment found that the massive wiring networks that were needed to route signals through their systems would quickly end up as a pile of "spaghetti" without some organization. Thus the communications industries picked up the ball and ran with it, resulting in more advanced patch bay designs and a modular approach that collected various components into one central cabinet.

The data processing world would likely be lost without these comms cabinets. It is hard to imagine any network of significant size functioning simply with their data devices stacked around a room, with snakes of all kinds strewn across the floor. This may work for the smallest of systems, but even the smallest LAN is comprised of several modules, all with intricate patch setups. This is where a comms cabinet becomes so important, for many reasons.
