Damn, and people claim I'm nuts! You know, you could go whole hog and multihome. I've got 1 cabinet and 1 two-post rack in the basement. I'm also building out a small patch panel in a closet on the second floor. That way, I don't have to do so many home-runs from the wall ports in the living spaces back down to the basement. -Coy
