I like this for the "teach them a lesson" factor... but if you are going to go thru the trouble of using custom patch cables... why not just use custom port connectors as well? Maybe something like the old 4 prong phone connectors (don't know the name... those 4 straight pin blocks old telco supplied phones used to have), or even something like a DIN connector.
