I always wandered what those were for :-) Seriously, though, I've never used one simply because I never purchased anything that didn't specify that it had either a dedicated pass thru port or internal termination. Guess I've been lucky. The biggest thing I always try to remember is that termination doesn't always work. From an electrical standpoint, one would think the cabling would be reliable, but in practice, things work when they shouldn't, and don't when they should, with all kinds of variations in between. I've never had a situation where I could leave the termination off and it work _reliably_, though.
