Which is half of what opendaddy is missing.

I half-sympathize with his concerns. It _seems_ nice to have the
bundle of patch cables all connected and ready, and one switch
separate from the patch cable bundle to actually turn the box on and
patch it in.

"Seems" being the operational word, and the issue of where one is
looking for the switch being, perhaps, the missed point?
