Ethernet cupboard was looking messy, and full of lots of odd sizes and colours. And I wanted to hook up another device and was out. 5x 0.5m cat6 to the rescue. Might send a pic if it is dull enough when swapped over
Edit: size matters (ask my ex-wife!)
I spent my college years working in the schools IT department to help pay my way. So many hours spent crimping connectors to clean up the networking racks
White-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown.
Good ole B, I chant this as well every time I make cables.
Yeah, once you know it, you never forget it.
Just like Yakko’s World.
I’m sorry. Crimping cables is such tedious work.
I almost never do it anymore, I’d rather use an imperfect length, lol
Me neither, but still glad I have the ability to do it. I did it when I ran cables through my house so I have outlets and a patch panel in a 19" rack
Half of a millimeter might be too short for a cat5/6 cable, they’re not supposed to be less than a meter.
Agreed. Better double check
Half of a millimeter might be too short
trust me … those are impractical. 😜
Shortest we have in stock is 150mm (15 cm) cables which we use sometimes to connect device pairs (sync mac’s/heartbeat etc). No idea it it’s within standards, but no complaints nor problems.
