I wonder if it may be worthwhile colour-coding the ends of cables (or entire cables?) to correspond with the colour of their respective Netbox inputs/outputs? Perhaps we could provide a CD with a simple video tutorial? I suppose pictures in an instruction manual is the conventional way to go...but I wonder if most people would be motivated enough? Just some thoughts. Nice post Rob...
