They serve quite well until I get to a switch that some douchebag mounted rear facing on the front posts of the rack with servers above and below and I just stand there cursing for a while as I scratch my head trying to figure out how the hell to even get to the tab in the first place...
Has anybody ever seen this with a switch that's 2U or thicker? I've only seen it perpetrated with 1U switches, a situation that usually results in my lapsing into Russian....
2U seems possible (can't say for certain) but larger, seems like you'd have a fair chance of being able to make something work since you can at least get your hands where they need to be... unless you can't find a ladder.
(For the record, my knowledge of Russian is limited to those words that Latvian carpenters reserve for hammers that aim at thumbs. :)
