Hey all. I bought a custom utility panel from Metalbox for my dotcom system. This is a 1U 19" rack panel with four 4-way multiples, two passive attenuators, and six 1/4" to 1/8" adapters (for interfacing with my euro system). Anyway, the panel is all passive but it came with a power cable with only the ground pin connected. The problem is that this cable has a MOTM-style connector instead of the dotcom style. I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea to just leave the ground cable unplugged. Looking at the back of the panel, I can see that all the ground pins on all the jacks have been connected together, so I am assuming that plugging a patch cable between any jack in the panel and any module in my system should provide any necessary grounding. Also, the dotcom multiples and mini-jack interface (which this panel sort of substitutes) do not have a power connector and are not grounded directly to the PS, so I think I should be safe. .Alfonso.
