Well I did manage to get the rack back together once the window washers left. In the process, I figured out which cables to disconnect from the equipment in the back. I now have 5 cables coming in to a desktop patch panel and then connected into SW116, a managed GS108Tv2 switch. From SW116, it goes to the rack. This means that I have only two connections to the rack; one ethernet and one power. I have also setup a connection that I can use to occupy the placement of a cable to my FLINT2 router. I haven't removed the connection to the rack yet, but this should enable me to move the FLINT2 router to the area behind my rack. What I want to be able to do is power down the rack but still allow my laptop to work and the table electronics to be worked on with connection to the apartment network. I could still do this with the FLINT1 that I have in the living room if I wish instead.
So now that I have just admitted this, I don't know what I was thinking of moving the FLINT2 for. Just shows that my mind is still stumbling over various configurations until I get to the right one. Other than bringing down equipment because it is not being used, I am mistified.
