    This is a great concept and can eliminate the clutter of abandoned cables in the future. Also it is difficult to pull replacement cables in this type of environment. The switch cost savings alone are huge. You would also save on new cabling costs, labeling, troubleshooting, cable testing etc.. Great article.
