How about having a normaling switch installed on the front panel to "link"
2 or more multiples together. I still like the 2U wide panel though, This
way it is easier to see, at a glance which patch cords are patched together
( i.e they're in a straight line) vs having to count down in multiples of
2. Also one could easily turn 2 rows of 4 jacks into 6 connected jacks by
patching row 1 and 2 together -Nate
