aarenot, I think I see what you are saying now - instead of laying out the wires to take the straighest shot to patch panels/66 blocks (I'm learning guys;)) in the IDF/MDF rooms, you'd route them around the room a bit, like a big U-bend, to take a longer path. Doing this above a drop ceiling wouldn't be visible at all. Am I close?

The question is more important than the answer.
