Angled or Flat Patch Panel?

[NotSoSimple]

Working on a server room retrofit and have a question.

When do you use angled patch panels versus standard flat? Just when density is needed?

you use it when budget permits. it really is so much easier to deal with. and looks nice of course.

Yeah angled look cooler and they angle the cable away from the door a little. Makes it easier if the patch panel is really far forward, don't have to bend the cables down to close the door.
