        Sometimes the 90-degree cable works best and sometimes
        the straight one works best. The 90-degree ones work
        nicely at the back of a VS4000 ... not so much
        spce is needed at the back of the box (vents
        are at the sides!).

        Same deal goes with the 90-degree vs straight
        ethernet connectors.

        Horses for courses.
