Thanks, I didn't have one on hand to check. Do you happen to know if the
pinout is consistent w/ the HD68's used in the CAB-OCTAL? (Could be very
useful for sparing...)

That's the idea. Even with clean cable management, its still better to
get that fanout as far from central panels as needed.

If going that approach, it'd be even cooler to get something in a
cassette format to go right next to the MPO breakouts...
