I have two 7' racks (currently) for my modular.  One is on wheels and
has to be moved so that I can get into some storage cabinets behind
it.  I have two Behringer Ultraptach Pro (px 2000) patch bays, one in
each rack.  I use a pair of 8' snakes on the back to interconnect the
two racks.  The patch bay section is set as parallel, and they are
arranged as alternating sets of 4 points, 2 points, 4 points, ... so
that they serve as multiples and simple rack interconnects (this
gives me 8 sets of 4 point mults {actually 8 points since they are
connected between racks} and 8 sets of 2 {mostly for passing between
racks only}).  This lets me move the rolling rack without tearing
apart a patch I'm working on.  It works great!  I've had no issues
with the connectors thus far.  I bought the patch bays and the snakes
used on eBay so they were inexpensive.
