Cage nuts. Maybe a Cisco CF card. Mid-job at 2am you'll pay an awful lot to not have to go back to the office to get something.<div>

If it was a broken cross connect wouldn't that be the DC's responsibility -<br>
and in that case they'd have the appropriate gear to fix/test it anyway.<br>
<br>
Loopbacks are easy enough to hack up to prove that.<br>
<br>
Some of these suggestions are taking it to the extreme :)<br>
