gently caress crimping cable forever if you're actually any good at it then you probably missed your calling as a chinese factory worker

once I cut myself with a broken cable peeler while doing a favor run for a friend but also once I found 100 bux under the floor so I guess it kind of evens out???

anyway share ur crimping stories and the cablest runs u got

we have a bunch of spools at work so i'll make cables to take home if i need any for whatever weird idiot project I'm doing

turns out just taking poo poo is even cheaper than monoprice

monoprice: cable of approximately the right length arrives 2days from now
reel sitting in the other room: cable of exactly the right length is ready in a couple minutes

tho seriously opening a ticket and dealing with all that would still probably take longer than to just order it off monoprice

i guess im just not a good resource for making cat5 cables

The problem with bureaucracy. I was the guy that made it or did a job and told them to send a ticket after I fixed the issue.

tbqh, irl, at my real job... i did just ask a facilities guy for some cat 5s cuz we were out so he just brought me a pile of these (in the back junk room)



the IT guys here even cant even be arsed to make the poo poo by hand

well if you need stock then yes it'd be faster to buy a box of them from monoprice or w/e because its dirt cheap in quantity

i generally like making cables

we do lots of weird runs where the boot is likely to get caught up and monoprice doesn't have any pre-mades that are plenum rated
