I'm not new to patchbays. I've just always used them as thru-boxes where I've always had to make the connections on the front of the patchbay.

I suspect to dumb it down enough for me to grasp it in words would take even more typing than that. I'm going to assume this will all make more sense once it's set up and I'm using it. My buddy is going to help me with the setup, so it's probably just going to take some time before I get a sense of how it works. I was hoping there might be a simple way to explain it but now I think I was wrong about that.
