Abstract
Provided are systems, methods, and computer products for interactive cable routing and planning optimization for customized hardware configurations. An example method includes receiving a set of cable characteristics and a set of user selections, in which the set of user selections are received via a graphical user interface (GUI). Identifying possible cabling routes for a hardware configuration based, at least in part, on available plug start and termination locations. Ranking each of the possible cabling routes based, at least in part, on a prioritized list of optimization criteria and the set of cable characteristics. Generating a suggested cabling configuration for one or more applications based, at least in part, on the set of cable characteristics, the set of user selections, and the ranking. Outputting the suggested cabling configuration to the user by at least providing a three-dimensional view of the suggested cabling configuration via the GUI.
