What is the best practice for routing the cables to the patch panel to ensure maintainability and performance?

Run the cables directly from the conduit to the back of the patch panel without any management

Terminate the cables at the patch panel without any slack

Use horizontal cable management rings and route the cables neatly to the patch panel ports

Bundle all cables tightly with zip ties and route them to the patch panel

A network administrator is installing a new switch in a rack. The administrator has several cables that need to be connected to the switch. To ensure proper airflow and maintainability, what is the best practice for managing the cables?
