Standards, neatness, and as much possible protection from mop handles, buffers, spare ladders, etc. I knew a commercial installer whom only installed jail phone systems. His work was so clean and consistent that many vendors, tech support folks, PMs, QC folks, etc, could immediately notice by name whom performed the install. Nice home lab!

Actually, the concern should be to make the installation uniform and consistent.
I have to get some pictures. With nearly every new system we do I assemble the backboard in the shop. Since we normally do Partner systems a 2'x4' backboard is sufficient. It gets painted with two coats of silver gray enamel. (The customer can have any color as long as it's silver gray.)
The KSU always goes on the left with the 66 blocks for the cross connect going right from the right side of the KSU. They are in order also from left to right: KSU extensions, KSU CO lines, premises wiring, CO lines, Krone block RJ-21x with secondary protectors below. I like to use half "D" rings above the blocks.
For layout I use our "standard template" that gets taped to the board. All screw holes are pilot drilled, the template removed and the KSU, blocks with 89 brackets and half "D" rings mounted. I never use drywall screws! VERY tacky!
After everything is in place I install our premade breakout cables (25 pr for the extensions and 6 pair for the KSU CO lines) using mounting blocks and telephone gray ty-raps from the KSU and punch them down on their respective blocks. The CO block will get a piece of 25 pair down to the protectors then from there a connectorized cable for the RJ-21x.
When it's all done I take it to the customer, slap it on the wall and punch down the premises wiring and install the RJ-21x. (I remove the KSU or carrier before transporting.) All I have to do then is plug it in and connect a ground wire from the protectors and cross connect the extensions and CO lines.
Needless to say EVERY system we do, with minor variations looks exactly the same.

They come in quarter field which is with just two 89 type brackets, if you get the wood ones you could saw those in half if you wanted. It really does make for a neat install as you can see by Ed's photo.

As KLD says....the BIX made me say it.
