They serve quite well until I get to a switch that some douchebag mounted rear facing on the front posts of the rack
I see this all the time with low-end Cisco ISR products (2... and 3... routers) since CIsco insist on having a "pretty" plastic fascia with their logo, model number, power LED etc. on the unuseful side. Less experienced installers (being generous with my terminology) assume this is therefore the "front" and mount it facing on the front rails, leaving the connector side buried half way into the rack where only a proctologist can reach the plugs.
And this would be one of the many reasons why nearly all of the 1900s 2900s, 2600s and even the behemoth 7507 we have sitting around the shop have no more plastic bezels on them. :) -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
