Alternatively, one could use a digital cross-connect.

True, but a 66 block will work. Usually. And is easily re-punched.

Really. Seriously, who cannot do wire wrap? It takes, literally, 5
minutes to learn to do it. And that's with a "screw driver" wirewrap
tool. With one of these

n.htm],
it takes about 10s, and you get a consistent, near perfect wrap every
time. (yes, it's a bit pricey, but very worth the cost even if you only
use it once to wire a single panel.)

PS: That's just the gun; it'll need a tip/sleeve. I recommend a
complete
kit.
