[BC] Patch Bays...

[Burt I. Weiner]

I may be old fashion, but I like patch bays.  I also like 
routers.  Routers usually have a microprocessor involved in their 
brains.  I like the idea of having a "non-thinking" device that I can 
use to manually route something to something when the router crashes.

I use the long ADC patch bays with the normals brought out to the 
back.  They've been very reliable in my use as well as easy to 
install.  Here's an example of the type I like to 
use:
