I love patch panels.
Patch panels are fine for signal routing (I also come out of broadcast),
but they cannot be relied upon for bonding because the bonding path is
FAR too long. Remember -- in studios (and even BC transmitters) we're
interconnecting with shielded twisted pair. In our ham stations, we're
using unbalanced signal lines at both AF and RF. My bonding regimen is
designed to address both lightning safety and hum/buzz/RFI issues
associated with unbalanced connections and the Pin One Problem.
