[BC] Patch Bays...

[Dana Puopolo]

I did a big build out in 1990 for WHDH radio. Bought a ton of ADC patch bays.
I ordered them with Monitor normals-plugging into the top would not break the
connection. They all came with full normals. Due to time constraints, they
could not go back to ADC to be repaired, so at their expense ADC sent a guy
out to the station who spent over a week with a wire wrap tool fixing them. It
even said MN on the stickers on each patchbay. No one at ADC could explain the
screw up, but they did make it right.

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:
