Direct answer
Yes, and phased deployment can be a sensible way to preserve infrastructure while controlling the initial equipment budget. The first phase should still include the complete pathway and rack strategy, tested cabling, essential network, required power, documentation, and temporary protection of unused runs. Otherwise, later phases may inherit cables with unknown condition or no space, cooling, switching, or electrical capacity.
Define which future devices are likely, where their cables terminate, what power or back boxes they need, and how walls will be finished around them. Avoid buying current electronics years before activation merely to fill the rack; install durable infrastructure now and select rapidly changing endpoints closer to use.
