I avoided this by having a jump lead connected to a PoE and then to an Ethercon. I also bought an ethercon converter and kept the same remote lead.
There's a picture either on the forum or I saw it on YouTube, but I'd never be able to find it again, where someone put a 1 rack panel with punchouts on the back of their rack and installed some ins, outs and remote plug that were attached to a Kemper rack. I thought that was a pretty good idea, easier access and if knocked over the breaking point would probably be there rather than on the unit. The British Audio install looks almost factory installed good, but I wouldn't want to pay that much when other options, such as what you've done, work and are much easier on the wallet.
