Hi,
maybe I'm just slow, but I'm having a lot of trouble imagining a single port
that could have multiple cables plugged in at the same time. And this
blockage is stopping me from reflecting usefully on your other points.

Are you able to show me a picture or a diagram or something so I can
visualise what you are talking about?
To me: once you plug one cable into a port, it is full and there is no room
for any more cables.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
