I was installing all my VDV on plywood and not using the enclosures. I had some customers who found out about the enclosures and wanted me to come back and install one.
They wanted to finish off the room and wanted everything hidden with a cover.
Now I let them know all their options ahead of time and let them make the final decision.
As far as cables being too short I like to leave about a 3ft. loop on all my cables. I leave this loop up in between the ceiling joists so that as more cable is needed I can pull some down from this loop.
