Terminate the cables to the opposite side of the block and there you have a proper splice point or also called a consolidation point.
Another alternative solution would be to use one cable from the Server Room to connect to a new switch installed in the ZCB.

You can then patch into the switch which now becomes an intermediate distribution frame IDF.
Cut off cables at a wall outlet should be replaced with a new cable or pulled up the wall and moved to another outlet location it will reach. The first and best way is to fusion splice the fiber strands to another fiber cable of the same gender.
For example, you would fusion splice a multi-mode 50um to a matching 50um fiber cable or a single mode to a single mode fiber optic cable. The second way is to terminate the fiber into a patch panel and then using patch cords, patch the fiber strands together. The third way is called a mechanical splice. This is older technology replaced by much better fusion splicing. To put this in perspective, it will always be better to have a cable that is intact from end to end.
