I, too, have had to peel patch cables with boots off the front of a 4506; it is indeed no fun. That's not really where they belong, though; they belong on 6-12'+ *drop* cables, not on patch cables. There, they're useful in saving you having to reconnectorize a cable when you pull the clip off, while back-fishing it. You can -- and should -- order frame patch cables without the boots.
