Does your code dictate that since the cubicles are tempory walls the cables need to be in at least smurf tube? Why not just fit a gang plate at the wall and run longer patch leads which would avoid the cubicle guys cutting wires or are the cubicles considered a permanent fixture?
Do you think you will use some tray or trunking to loom down to the new panel?
Is that a freaken UPS hanging off that plywood on the wall? How stable is that?

OK ill try to answer these as best I can.
The box on the plywood is for the T1 line. I will be using vertical mounting brackets for the trunk cable management.
As far as the gang plate, the wires were placed so they run directly into the cubicles built in cable trays. The cubicles are in groups of 3, so the wires enter the first cube and run through to the third. There are a few ways this could have been done but they wanted to try to keep costs down.
Ill open the cubicle covers and get some pics on monday.

Data and phone jacks are all in the cubes, still no furniture guys today...
Started the panel, the bridle is just for temporary strain relief and the 66 block is just in with 1 screw to keep voice lines organized and out of the way.
As far as vertical trunk management I'll be using these since it is such a short run.
And something like this will be mounted with the panel as final strain relief.

Looking good! I have to run wire for 34 Kronos Units in next few weeks. I will try and get some pictures for you all. (BTW kronos is pretty much just a digital time clock) just two cat5 pulls to each one.

Looks very nice. Must be a hassle to keep coming back to the job for little things and working around the furniture guys no?
Hows the back room coming along?

Great job! I myself actually bundle the cable and tyrap it to the back of the panel, that way you can still swing it out easily for future add's.

I have the wires tied to the management bar that came on the back of the panel. The hinge is on the left side and it opens very nicely, I think thats how you do it also?

Could be, it's hard to see the management bar in the picture, and honestly I didn't think you could swing it open with the bar attached. Wouldn't it extend too far and hit the right side if you were to open it?
I see better on the computer (rather then my phone) how you have them laid out and how it would still swing. Typically I keep it as a whole bundle going to the patch panel. On a leviton panel there's a mounting hole for the bar that I'll stick a bullet hole and tyrap on. Then I'll tyrap between each of the modules.
Of course if your in a rack then you have room to use the manegement bar and go straight in securing to the bar for strain relief.

Looks like a good install. Love pulling power voltage wire every once in a while.
