it allows you to easily identify who is who and change where they are
plugged in

also, that's how the wiring comes into the network closets...in big
bundles of 50, 100 or more CAT 5 wires all wrapped into one; they then
efficiently plug into the patch panel arbitrarily where it would be
impossible to pull them all with heads on them.
