Not sure if I had a light-bulb moment or a fever dream, so am pitching this out there- any reason I can't use an RJ-45 keystone jack as a switch/shunt? My thought is that there are two plugs- one is wired up with the deployment charge wires shorted, and the CPU power disconnected. This is the "remove before flight" plug. The other provides continuity to the cpu battery, and removes the short from the charges.
The keystone is recessed into the Avbay, and the plug isn't a hunk of cat5, just a few small jumpers crimped in securely. The mass is low, and it's a locking connection (and provides an 8p1t config). Should I go back to bed or draft up a schematic?
