cable - Structured Cabling Server Racks

We have the opportunity next week to rewire five server racks which is currently in a real mess. Each rack currently has a switch installed up top with lots of cables hanging around.



We are thinking of installing patch panels in each rack, wired back to the first rack into another panel panel, from there patch leads that go into the switches and on the other racks, patch leads going into the servers.



enter image description here



So a server in rack 5 for example would be connected something like this:



[server] -> [patch lead] -> [patch panel in rack 5] ->->->->->-> [patch panel in rack 1] -> [patch lead] -> [switch]




Will something like this work?



Any points, suggestions appreciated.



Thank you in advance!
